时间粒度对地理事件线性时间拓扑关系影响研究

时间尺度是时空数据模型中重要的要素,决定着对地理信息刻画和描述的详细程度,在时空数据库中,时间粒度对于时空拓扑关系描述具有决定性的影响。该文对时间的基本元素进行了形式化定义,在数轴上把时间基于集合论划分为3部分,并对两个时间要素划分的集合求交,从而建立地理事件间的线性时间拓扑关系形式化描述的9交模型,在此基础上探讨了时间粒度变化对地理事件间线性时间拓扑关系的影响,并进行了实例分析。     

时空拓扑关系描述及其推理研究

空间目标处于一定的时间与空间中,时态拓扑关系和空间拓扑关系经常交织在一起,形成时空拓扑关系,因此有必要在统一框架下研究时空拓扑关系.基于Allen对时态拓扑关系和Egenhofer对空间拓扑关系的研究,对时态拓扑关系和空间拓扑关系分别采用3×3的矩阵进行描述,将时空拓扑关系表示为3×6的矩阵,并描述了简单面/面之间的104种时空拓扑关系.在研究时态拓扑关系推理和空间拓扑关系推理的基础上,提出了一种时空拓扑关系推理方法.该文提出的时空拓扑关系描述和推理方法对于拓展时空拓扑关系的研究具有重要意义.     

基于文献引用关系和知识图谱的时空关系研究热点分析

本文采用“Web of Science”数据库收录的1999-2013年期间发表的探讨时空关系相关文献,包括2263篇直接文献和这些文献引用的78139篇参考文献为基础数据,采用Histcite软件构建时空关系研究文献数据库,结合Citespace软件对该数据库进行文献引用关系和知识图谱的可视化处理,并对热点文献进行解读与分析,从而分析时空关系研究的研究热点和发展趋势。研究发现:2000年前后,时空关系研究与GIS结合逐步突破了传统时间地理学研究的技术瓶颈和研究框架,迅速进入了一个文献爆炸的阶段,研究的内容逐步从时空行为的描述转向对时空关系的解释。随着时空GIS技术的不断成熟,本领域的研究更多地把时空行为作为一种变量,对各种时空现象和社会问题进行解释,而不仅仅是一个被描述和解释的对象,其学科应用价值将逐步突显。     

一种基于行人位置描述的道路模拟表达方法

人们在户外行走时,通常使用自然语言表达其对自身位置的感知,在计算机中如何将定性的自然语言位置描述转换为定量的图形语言是地理信息系统、人工智能等领域面临的挑战。该文提出一种基于行人位置描述的道路模拟表达方法,将自然语言位置描述转换为道路模拟地图。首先设计一组空间认知实验,探讨道路上的行人在户外如何使用自然语言描述当前位置;然后基于行人的每条自然语言位置描述估算该位置的候选区域,在候选区域中随机产生该位置的一对坐标值;最后将行人在路上经过的多个位置点坐标数据组合,采用直线拟合和概率拟合两种方法对该道路进行模拟表达。实验结果表明,该文方法能达到较好的模拟表达效果,为自然语言到图形语言的转换研究奠定了基础。     

基于事件语义的地籍管理信息系统时空建模

在分析地籍管理信息系统对时空信息需求的基础上,引入事件语义描述,提出了基于事件语义的地籍管理信息系统时空模型,该模型通过描述事件的五个方面<对象、时间、空间、事件、属性(专题)>,记录宗地变更过程,建立时空模型,并根据地籍管理对时空数据的需求,分别从时间点、时间段角度对历史信息进行查询和回溯,验证了模型的有效性。     

位置感知计算中定位信息的自然语言描述

讨论位置感知计算中定位信息表达存在的不足,引入自然语言描述作为补充,介绍自然语言中的空间概念,并分析了影响空间定位信息向自然语言转换的因素,归纳为尺度依赖、方向依赖和身份依赖,讨论制约因素影响下的参考框架、参考点和方位词的选择,并以地图作为空间转化媒介,给出一组人们日常使用的定位描述句式,最后以车辆监控系统和图书馆导航为测试平台,针对室外和室内两种不同应用环境进行了自然语言描述实验.     

地理空间分布整体统计研究进展

利用统计学方法研究社会经济与自然等要素的地理空间分布在最近几十年来已引起许多学者的关注.地理空间分布的整体性就像它的局部性一样,是空间统计分析的主要对象.本文目的是综述各种地理空间分布整体性特征的统计研究进展.在这里,地理空间分布的整体性特征是指它在二维空间上的中心和方位以及它自身的地理范围、空间密集度和形状.文中介绍了对这些整体性特征进行统计描述、预测和估计的方法.已有近20个空间统计指标用于描述社会经济和自然地理空间分布的各种整体性特征,分析和预测它们的时空演化过程.如空间移动、扩张、加密、旋转,并确定不同空间分布的相关关系.文中探讨了地理空间分布整体统计目前存在的主要科学问题.如空间独立性假设、空间随机抽样、时空过程分析(包括时空稳态随机过程1、空间统计描述方法和空间分布函数等.     

移动定位大数据视角下的人群移动模式及城市空间结构研究进展

了解城市人群移动行为和空间结构对城市规划、交通管理、应急响应等具有重要的意义。近年来,随着信息技术(ICT)的快速发展,采集大规模、长时间序列的人群移动定位大数据变得容易,为人群移动行为研究带来了新的机遇和挑战。本文首先介绍了目前用于城市人群移动行为和空间结构研究的主要数据源及其特征,并分别从人群移动行为、城市空间结构2个方面对近3年国内外相关研究进行归纳总结。目前的研究主要从移动定位大数据中挖掘人群移动模式,理解人群移动时空规律,进一步透视城市的空间结构特征;而对城市空间结构与人群移动行为影响的研究较少。未来可通过融合多源时空数据,综合研究人群移动行为与城市空间结构之间的相互作用,发展大规模群体移动行为时空分析理论和模型,进一步深入理解人群移动行为与城市空间结构的耦合关系。     

基于GIS的时空节点规划与优化方法研究

时间地理学框架描述了个体行为的时间和空间约束,可用于确定活动双方的时空交集并进行定量的时空分析。该文分析了活动预约双方的时间和空间限制条件,根据个体时空约束类型的不同分别将其表达为时空路径、圆柱和棱镜。在此基础上,将求解活动双方会面的时空节点问题转换为求解双方的时空交集,并在ArcGIS环境中得以实现。这种基于时间地理学和GIS技术进行时空节点规划和优化的方法可应用于应急救灾、物流配送、旅游规划等领域,辅助实现对时间和地点的预约及对路径的优化,进而提高效率、节约成本。     

新月形沙丘形态参数与移动速度的关系

在塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地的新月形沙丘演变监测区,运用华测X90 GNSS接收机获取毫米级高时空分辨率三维坐标数据,利用ArcGIS 10.0和CASS 9.0提取新月形沙丘的15个形态参数和移动速度,利用SPSS 21.0对沙丘移动速度与15个形态参数间的数值相关性进行曲线估计分析。结果表明：以移动方向230°为界,沙丘移动速度与移动方向间存在明显的分段线性函数关系;当移动方向为210°~230°时,沙丘移动速度 > 1.5 m/月,移动较快且与主风向NE的下风向方向一致;当移动方向为230°~320°时,沙丘移动速度 ≤ 1.5 m/月,速度较低。沙丘移动速度与沙丘高度之间存在负线性函数关系,沙丘高度每增大1个单位,速度会相应减小2.263个单位,沙丘高度对移动速度的影响较大。移动速度和沙丘走向间存在正的增长函数关系,与沙丘左、右翼走向均呈正线性相关性。研究结果为明确新月形沙丘移动速度的具体影响因素和完善其计算公式提供支持,并对小尺度风沙地貌演变的精确分析有所裨益。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
