Visualizing spatiotemporal trajectories of mobile social media users using space–time cube

The implementation of social network applications on mobile platforms has significantly elevated the activity of mobile social networking. Mobile social networking offers a channel for recording an individual’s spatiotemporal behaviors when location-detecting capabilities of devices are enabled. It also facilitates the study of time geography on an individual level, which has previously suffered from a scarcity of georeferenced movement data. In this paper, we report on the use of georeferenced tweets to display and analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of daily user trajectories. For georeferenced tweets having both location information in longitude and latitude values and recorded creation time, we apply a space–time cube approach for visualization. Compared to the traditional methodologies for time geography studies such as the travel diary-based approach, the analytics using social media data present challenges broadly associated with those of Big Data, including the characteristics of high velocity, large volume, and heterogeneity. For this study, a batch processing system has been developed for extracting spatiotemporal information from each tweet and then creating trajectories of each individual mobile Twitter user. Using social media data in time geographic research has the benefits of study area flexibility, continuous observation and non-involvement with contributors. For example, during every 30-minute cycle, we collected tweets created by about 50,000 Twitter users living in a geographic region covering New York City to Washington, DC. Each tweet can indicate the exact location of its creator when the tweet was posted. Thus, the linked tweets show a Twitter users’ movement trajectory in space and time. This study explores using data intensive computing for processing Twitter data to generate spatiotemporal information that can recreate the space–time trajectories of their creators.

多核并行环境中矢量数据格式的转换算法

针对目前对VCT格式转换的并行算法研究较少的现状,该文以VCT向shapefile格式转换为例,探索多核并行环境中进行VCT格式向其他矢量数据格式快速转换的方法:在深入探索VCT与shapefile格式特点的基础上,通过构建索引、数据解析转换,完成由VCT向shapefile格式的转换;并设计出一种顾及负载均衡的数据划分方法,通过评估不同类型图层的复杂度实现不同类型矢量数据的均衡划分,实现了VCT向shapefile格式转换的并行算法。最后利用某地土地利用VCT文件进行算法测试,结果表明该算法转换结果正确,取得了良好的加速比,并基本达到负载均衡。

Scale Effects on Chlorophyll-A Concentration Retrieved: Assessment and Validation Using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite

To understand the scale effects on chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration retrieved from satellite images, the two-band algorithm (TA) and three-band algorithm (TBA) were constructed for estimating chl-a from satellite images. Two synchronous images of Advanced Wide-Field Sensor (AWiFS) and Linear Imaging Self-Scanner (LISS) of Indian remote sensing satellite were used to assess and validate the scale errors of these two algorithms. They were collected at local time 02:55:46:471 and 02:58:25:053 on October 8, 2005 in Yellow River Estuary, and their spatial resolutions are 24 m and 56 m, respectively. From the results of this study, it was found that: (1) the relative scale error (RSE) of TA and TBA, caused by scale changing from LISS to AWiFS, varied from 0% to 100%; (2) the RSE was correlated with the spatial non-homogeneous degree of chl-a distribution; and (3) using TBA to estimate chl-a concentration in Yellow River Estuary decreased 2.55% of model uncertainty, but increased 4.97% of scale errors, in comparison with TA. Additionally, the study indicated that the performance of algorithms for chl-a estimation was greatly affected by the scale error. If the scale effects of chl-a retrieval algorithm were taken into consideration, TA had a superior performance to the TBA in this study.

本文针对叉乘判别法只适用于凸多边形的缺陷提出了改进,将其推广至凹多边形和自相交多边形,改进方法利用叉乘值的正负变化,选择对点的积分路径,从而判断是否有闭合的路径包围被测点。并通过检测多边形是否环绕被测点,判断点与多边形的关系,属于非零环绕数法。经过实验,改进方法被证明有较快的速度和较强的适应性。     

青藏高原形变对中国西部边界的影响

基于青藏高原GPS形变1991-1999年间的测量成果,通过对中尼(中国与尼泊尔)、中印(中国与印度)边界及中不(中国与不丹)边界附近GPS测站地壳水平运动速率的统计分析,运用平均速度法估算了近10a西部边境地区的形变面积。初步计算结果表明,青藏高原形变对我国西部边界存在影响,在1991-1999年之间西部边界的不均匀形变导致国土面积缩小0.37km2。     

地图投影变换浅析

通过研究得出,将地球上各种地理事物与现象表示到平面上,需要采取一系列数学变换,才能使地面上的点与平面上的相应点建立起对应关系,从而才有可能反映出它们的位置、距离、方向、面积、形状及数量大小关系。地图之所以能在平面上反映出球面上事物与现象的空间准确位置和相互关系,就是由于它经过了地图投影的转换。通过研究地图投影变换问题,可以为基于离散网格的数据管理和建模应用提供很好的投影变换基础。
