面向变化监控的动态电子地图设计

以动态现象的表达、监控为主要任务的电子地图,具有四个功能:过程再现、实时跟踪、变化推演和变化模拟,分别对应时态特征上的过去式、进行式、将来式和虚拟语气。其设计原理与其他电子地图的差别表现为:地理背景底图的动态性,比例尺设计与时间有关,符号设计需扩充Bertin参量体系而引入动态参量,要顾及用户对变化过程的交互式控制。本文从地图设计角度讨论了这类地图的设计原理与方法,并应用到面向水路航务管理的电子航道图设计中,实现航标位置、工作状态的全天候远程监控。

在常规地图符号参量体系上,通过引入动态特征、交互式操作等方面的参量,提出了三维地图符号的视觉参量,它由状态、动态变化和操作三个方面的参量组成,并采用认知实验研究了这些符号参量在质量特征、数量特征、关系特征以及动态特征等信息表达上的应用及功效.     

高精度地图符号编辑器的设计与实现

地图符号给予地图极大的影响,它决定着地图内容能否充分表达,决定着地图是否便于阅读和使用,决定着地图信息的传输效果,而且地图符号的精度直接影响地图表示内容的准确性。结合地图符号理论,详细分析了点状符号、线状符号和面状符号的结构特点,提出了地图符号编辑器的设计方案及相应的关键算法,并且分别给出了控制点符、线符和面符精度的措施,实现了地图符号的高精度制作,而且设计的符号编辑器具有良好的封装性、可维护性和可适应性。     

The Work of the British Government's Air Survey Committee And its Impact on Mapping in the Second World War

It has been asserted by Clough (1952) , amongst others, that British Military Survey was poorly prepared for the outbreak of war in 1939. An examination of the work carried out between the wars by the Air Survey Committee would seem to contradict that view. In this paper, the work of the Air Survey Committee is discussed and a brief assessment made of the impact of its work on British mapping during the Second World War.

Embracing cultural geography: an army imperative

As an instrument of national strategy, the United States Army has served the American people well for more than two centuries. Its fundamental mission has always been to fight and win America's Wars. As we have moved from the bi-polar nature of world dynamics to that of the new global neighborhood, the American Army has seen an increase in missions related to peacekeeping, disaster relief, and humanitarian actions. From a geography perspective, the Army must operate in numerous countries simultaneously. To succeed, the Army must go beyond physical accomplishments: it must interact and communicate with nations at a level of shared understanding and enthusiasm of each others culture. The American soldier must understand the cultural nature of geography as well as the physical. The hypothesis of this paper is: There is an urgent need for the men and women of the Unites States Army to have a firm conviction that people of other cultures have beliefs, value systems, and customs that result in behaviors and perceptions that may be vastly different than ours. . .and that those differences are legitimate. Beginning with mistakes made during the Vietnam war, the authors give examples, current as well as past, of cultural illiteracy on the part of the military. The role of the Army in the new world order is then addressed with emphasis on the types of missions to be expected in the 21^st Century. The authors point out that significant efforts to grasp customs of foreign countries to which Army units are deployed have been made during recent years; however, much remains to be accomplished. The solution to a lack of cultural awareness is given in the form of improvements to the Army military education system. An overview of the current training environment, with its strengths and weaknesses, is provided as a precursor to recommendations for future training. A multitiered education system is proposed in which cultural awareness education is provided at all levels of authority, from the basic training recruit to senior officers. Given that programs of instruction are already full, it will take a combination of command emphasis and innovation to accomplish the goal of inculcating cultural awareness in the American Army. The paper concludes with the position that the only way the Army can accomplish its changed global missions is by first winning its own war against cultural illiteracy.
