基于改进Web墨卡托投影的瓦片地图服务设计与实现

为解决网络地理信息应用二、三维一体化显示需要,通常做法是处理并存储两套不同投影的地图瓦片数据,一套采用Web墨卡托投影,面向二维地图应用;一套采用经纬度坐标,面向三维地图应用。这在一定程度上降低数据处理效率、浪费存储资源。文中提出一种改进Web墨卡托地图投影方法,并设计一种面向影像地图和DEM数据的瓦片化方法。方法生成的影像地图瓦片数据既能同时面向二维地图和三维可视化场景使用,又有效解决Web墨卡托投影不支持高纬度地区栅格地图表达的缺陷。将新型的地图投影和数据模型通过瓦片地图服务系统进行验证,证明这种新改进的投影和影像,以及DEM瓦片化方法具备较高的实用性。     

等分分层组合投影研究

针对中国地理格网(1°、10°等多级格网系统)的分割方法,设计了一种适合该格网系统的新型地图投影——分层组合投影。从微分几何的观点出发,把地球椭球按等纬度分割成若干层圆台,分别建立每个圆台的投影模型,即可得到一种地图投影。这种投影还可根据格网间隔的不同进行细分,从而发展成为一种适合多分辨率格网模型的动态地图投影。通过对该投影进行变形计算表明,该投影可以保持等角,而且面积和长度变形都很小,特别是在高纬度地区,与Mercator投影相比变形明显减小。

Calculating Map Projections for the Ellipsoid

Application of standard map projections to the ellipsoidal Earth is often considered excessively difficult. Using a few symbols for frequently-used combinations, exact equations may be shown in compact form for ellipsoidal versions of conformal, equal-area, and equidistant projections developed onto the cone, cylinder (in conventional position), and plane, as well as for the polyconic projection. Series are needed only for true distances along meridians. The formulas are quite interrelated. The ellipsoidal transverse and oblique Mercator projections remain more involved. An adaptation of the Space Oblique Mercator projection provides a new ellipsoidal oblique Mercator which, unlike Hotine's, retains true scale throughout the length of the central line.     

The oblique Mercator projection of the ellipsoid of revolution IE a 2 ,b

While the standardMercator projection / transverse Mercator projecton maps the equator / the transverse metaequator equivalent to the meridian of referenceequidistantly, theoblique Mercator projection aims at aconformal mapping of the ellipsoid of revolution constraint to anequidistant mapping of an oblique metaequator. Obliqueness is determined by the extension of the area to be mapped, e.g. determined by the inclination of satellite orbits: Satellite cameras map the area just under the orbit geometry. Here we derive themapping equations of theoblique Mercator projection being characterized to beconformal andequidistant on the oblique metaequator extending results ofM. Hotine (1946, 1947).

The Peters Phenomenon

Abstract

In 1967 Dr Arno Peters made his first public claim to have designed a world map superior to Mercator and all others. Although professional cartographers have pointed out that the projection is not original or unique, the map has gained a not inconsiderable measure of political acceptance.

针对球体横墨卡托投影与基于地球椭球体的导航设备结合使用存在误差以及传统椭球横墨卡托投影依据经差分带不适用于极区的问题,在分析双重投影可用于极区存在计算奇异和计算溢出问题的基础上,研究了一种基于双重投影的横墨卡托投影极区应用改进方法。首先利用函数等效变换和经线长度比计算公式推导出椭球投影到球体上的坐标变换、球体半径和长度比计算公式,然后利用分段函数的方法研究了球体横墨卡托投影计算公式,综合两个阶段给出了完整的坐标变换公式和长度比计算公式,最后推导了子午线收敛角计算公式。理论分析和算例仿真表明,该改进方法能够解决极区投影计算奇异和计算溢出问题,近极点地区长度变形较小,且与导航设备采用的地球模型一致,可消除由于地球模型不同引起的误差,提高航海绘算精度。     

MARGINAL SCALES OF LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE ON TRANSVERSE MERCATOR MAPS

Abstract

The problem of computing marginal scales of latitude and longitude on a rectangular map on the Transverse Mercator projection, where the sheet boundaries are projection co-ordinate lines, may be solved in various ways. A simple method is to compute the latitudes and longitudes of the four corners of the sheet, and then, assuming a constant scale, to interpolate the parallels and meridians between these corner values. Although it is probably sufficiently accurate for practical purposes, this method is not precise. It is not difficult to adapt the fundamental formulce of the projection to give a direct solution of the problem.

Towards Better WMS Maps Through the Use of the Styled Layer Descriptor and Cartographic Conflict Resolution for Linear Features

Abstract

Mercator depicted Croatia on several general maps. In accordance with the level of geographical knowledge, map scales and technical possibilities of the time, Mercator provided a relatively detailed depiction of basic geographical features on these maps. His interest in mapping Croatia was probably motivated by the fact that the Venetian Republic, the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire had fought over this area in the sixteenth century, contributing to the fragmentation of the medieval Croatian State, while at the same time facilitating economic, religious, linguistic, artistic and scientific communication between Central, South East and Mediterranean Europe. Mercator paid special attention to toponyms that enabled geographical objects to be identified and the decoding of cartographic contents. Research into Mercator’s maps has shown that geographical names, among other things, clearly indicate the sources of spatial data that he used. Additionally, geographical names on Mercator’s maps are significant indicators of the linguistic and cultural contacts that were particularly prominent in border areas, for example, along the eastern Adriatic coast, or the courses of the Danube, Sava and Drava.     

Enhancing adaptive composite map projections: Wagner transformation between the Lambert azimuthal and the transverse cylindrical equal-area projections

The adaptive composite map projection technique changes the projection to minimize distortion for the geographic area shown on a map. This article improves the transition between the Lambert azimuthal projection and the transverse equal-area cylindrical projection that are used by adaptive composite projections for portrait-format maps. Originally, a transverse Albers conic projection was suggested for transforming between these two projections, resulting in graticules that are not symmetric relative to the central meridian. We propose the alternative transverse Wagner transformation between the two projections and provide equations and parameters for the transition. The suggested technique results in a graticule that is symmetric relative to the central meridian, and a map transformation that is visually continuous with changing map scale.     

THE CONVERGENCE OF MERIDIANS

Abstract

Some publications that have dealt with the question of convergence of meridians seem, to the present writer, to be clouded with misconception, and these notes are intended to clarify some points of apparent obscurity. For instance, A. E. Young, in “Some Investigations in the Theory of Map Projections”, I920, devoted a short chapter to the subject, and appeared surprised to find that the convergence on the Transverse Mercator projection differs from the spheroidal convergence; the explanation which he advanced can be shown to be faulty. Captain G. T. McCaw, in E.S.R., v, 35, 285, derived an expression for the Transverse Mercator convergence which is equal to the spheroidal convergence, and described this as “a result which might be expected in an orthomorphic system”. Perhaps McCaw did not intend his remark to be so interpreted, but it seems to imply that the convergence on any orthomorphic projection should be equal to the spheroidal convergence, and it is easily demonstrated that this is not so. Also, in the second edition of “Survey Computations” there is given a formula for the convergence on the Cassini projection which is identical, as far as it goes, with that given for the Transverse Mercator, while the Cassini convergence as given by Young is actually the spheroidal convergence. Obviously, there is some confusion somewhere, and it is small wonder that Young prefaced his remarks with the admission that the subject had always presented some difficulty to him.     

Digital Aerial Orthobase for Cadastral Mapping

Large scale aerial photographs were acquired for one entire district of Andhra Pradesh in the southern India encompassing approx. 10,000 sq.kms. The voluminous data was processed using digital photogrammetry techniques to generate seamless digital orthoimages as a base map for cadastral mapping applications. Historically the cadastral mapping was carried out with traditional surveying methods such as ETS, theodolites not at regular intervals. With the advent of modern surveying & remote sensing techniques, generation of Digital Cadastral Database for Land Information System (LIS) is possible. The trends of cadastral mapping started with individual plan of survey of parcels with local datum and arbitrary map projections. This study essentially required an accurate and standard spatial reference for seamless cadastral mapping over the entire Area of Interest (AOI) in single datum and projection. Towards this a spatial reference in World Geodetic System (WGS 84) datum with Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection was established. The terrain in the study area is moderately undulating and the relief due to manmade features was not so significant. The aerial orthobase was found suitable for delineating and measuring the individual parcels information. A good GCP configuration, triangulation accuracy and reliable and consistent Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was ensured the generation of Digital aerial orthobases with an accuracy of better than 25cm over a distance of 1000m. The orthobase was used for identification, delineation of the cadastre parcels and most importantly to validate the aerial orthobase with the field measurements.     

Map projection errors in the Weber problem

 When demand points are given as a planar map where projection method is explicitly stated, we usually know the latitudes and longitudes of these points from the map. Then we can solve the Weber problem on the globe, and we do not suffer from errors. This paper analyses how cylindrical projections cause distortion in the Weber problem when demands are distributed on the Northern Hemisphere. First, we demonstrate that planar solutions are always located south of the spherical solution if the Mercator projection, the equirectangular projections with standard parallels near the demands, or the equal-area projection with the same characteristic is chosen. Second, we verify that this geographical tendency is inclined to hold when the demand points, are distributed symmetrically, widely or toward the north.
