空间数据库引擎SDE的研究

利用大型关系数据库管理海量的GIS数据,由于空间数据的不定长,造成存储效率低下,此外,现有的SQL并不支持空间数据库检索,需要解决空间数据和DBMS之间数据的存储、读取、检索、管理等基本功能。探讨了空间数据库引擎(SDE)的概念、实质和特点,并对Arc SDE进行了研究,对MAPGIS7.0中的SDE做了简短描述。     

GIS in the K-12 Curriculum: A Cautionary Note

Two qualitative case studies, one focusing on K-12 teachers and the other on middle school students, explore key factors associated with using Geographic Information Systems in the classroom. In both studies, access to appropriate hardware is a critical barrier. Time is another critical barrier—time to learn the GIS software and time in the curriculum to incorporate GIS as a learning experience. In both case studies, learning the technology at the expense of learning spatial analysis was a danger, suggesting the need for conscious focus on the goal of using GIS to learn how to “do geography.”     

Applying VGI to collaborative research in the humanities: the case of ARTL@S

ABSTRACT

Using Artl@s as an example of a project that relies on volunteered geographic information (VGI), this article examines the specific challenges that exist, beyond those frequently discussed in general VGI systems (e.g., participants’ motivation and data quality control) in regard to sharing research data in humanities: (1) most data from the humanities is qualitative and collected from multiple data sources which are often inconsistent and unmappable; (2) data is usually interconnected with multiple relationships among different tables which creates challenges for both mapping and query functionality; (3) data is both geographical and historical. Consequently addresses that no longer exist have to be geolocated and visualized on historical basemaps and spaces must be represented diachronically; (4) the design of web map application needs to balance both sophisticated research requirements and a user-friendly interface; (5) finally contributors expect their data to be cited or acknowledged when used in other studies and users need metadata and citation information in order to reuse and repurpose datasets.

In this article, we discuss how Artl@s, a project which developed a georeferenced historical database of exhibition catalogues, addresses these challenges. Artl@s provides a case study for VGI adoption by digital humanities scholars for research data sharing, as it offers features, such as flexible batch data contribution, interrelated spatial query, automatic geolocalization of historical addresses, and data citation mechanisms.     

新疆及其毗邻地区地震层析成像

利用新疆地震台网及其毗邻地区的国外地震台站提供的地震Ｐ波到时数据,重建了新疆及其毗邻地区地壳上地幔的三维速度图像．主要结果是：１．研究区地壳上地幔的地震波速度存在明显的横向不均匀性．这种不均匀性出现在不同构造单元之间,也出现在各构造单元之内．２．一般来说,研究区域内盆地是上地幔的隆起区,褶皱系是上地幔的坳陷区．３．岩石层厚度和软流层的深度与全球的平均结果有较大不同．４．海洋岩石层或大陆岩石层板块在兴都库什和克什米尔与中国交界地区的消减明显存在．５．地壳上地幔物质运动比较剧烈,有部分熔融物质上涌到地壳中部或更浅的深度．     

全国1∶100万地质图空间数据库建设进展

地质图空间数据库的建立对于基础地质图件的快速更新、信息资源共享以及基础地质科学研究具有重要意义。全国1∶100万地质图空间数据库(2005年版本)是以1∶50万地质图数据库为基础,充分吸收近年来1∶25万、1∶5万区域地质调查的新资料新成果,应用当代最先进的地质科学理论、现代信息技术和先进制图学理论,使用中国自主开发的MapGIS平台,结合ArcGIS、Access等软件进行研究建立的。数据库包括地理底图库、地质图库、元数据库、外挂岩石地层库,数据量约1.6GB。数据库管理系统具有较强的图幅检索、查询、自动成图、自动生成图例等功能。     

基于并行编程计算模型的索贝尔滤波技术

随着遥感影像数据量的骤增,单机环境下完成索贝尔边缘滤波运算所需的计算时间也剧增.根据遥感数据的分幅特征,结合MapReduce并行分布式计算模型,本文提出了一种将该运算迁徙到Hadoop集群环境中的方法,以完成海量影像数据的索贝尔滤波运算.实验结果表明集群运算能够显著缩短计算时间,并且该计算时间会随着集群节点数目的增加而趋于减少.     

Sea-level rise and flooding in coastal riverine flood plains

Abstract

This work presents a method for calculating the contributions of sea-level rise and urban growth to flood risk in coastal flood plains. The method consists of hydraulic/hydrological, urban growth and flood-damage quantification modules. The hydraulic/hydrological module estimates peak annual flows to generate flood stages impacted by sea-level rise within flood plains. A model for urban growth predicts patterns of urbanization within flood plains over the period 2010–2050. The flood-damage quantification module merges flood maps and urbanization predictions to calculate the expected annual flood damage (EAFD) for given scenarios of sea-level rise. The method is illustrated with an application to the Tijuana River of southern California, USA, and northwestern Mexico, where the EAFD is predicted to increase by over US$100 million because of sea-level rise of 0.25–1.0 m and urban growth by the year 2050. It is shown that urbanization plays a principal role in increasing the EAFD in the study area for the range of sea-level rise considered.

一种图像自动拼接方法的研究

以关键帧作为待拼接图像,为了减少图像间的扭曲和变形,保证图像整体关系的正确性,减少误差的累积传播,得到最佳的拼接结果,本文采用三种技术来提高图像自动拼接的精度。首先,通过摄像机标定实现关键帧的矫正;其次,采用基于Harris和SURF算法完成特征点的匹配;最后,在特征匹配的基础上进行光束法平差得到高精度的图像参数。实验结果表明,此方法稳定可靠,拼接精度高。     

应用遥感图像提取煤层自燃信息时必须考虑的几个影响因素

煤层自燃是中国北方煤田中普遍存在的灾害现象,它不但烧掉了大量的煤炭资源,而且还污染了环境。实践证明,利用遥感影像判别火区位置、圈定火区范围和对火区进行动态监测,及时为灭火工程提供信息,是一项经济和社会意义很大的工作。由于受多种因素的制约,不同地区、不同波段、不同时相、不同空间分辨率的遥感图像,其影像特征（含与煤层自燃有关的热异常影像特征）都有较大的差异,因而从图像上分析和提取地物的热红外辐射特征时,需要考虑遥感图像类型、成像时间、地形条件、气象条件和岩性特征等因素的影响。本文着重讨论了地表辐射温度与上述各项因素之间的关系。
