Geodetic grids in authoritative maps – new findings about the origin of the UTM Grid

ABSTRACT

Recent discoveries of Wehrmacht Maps in the Military Archive of the Federal Archive of Germany in Freiburg im Breisgau raised the motivation for further investigations into the history of the internationally employed Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection which actually represents a prerequisite for the global use of Global Positioning System (GPS) – and thus of any type of navigation – instruments. In contrast to the frequently stated opinion that this map projection was first operationally used by U.S. Americans it turned out that presumably the first operational maps with indication of the orthogonal UTM grid were produced by German Wehrmacht officers prior to the post World War (WW) II triumph of this projection. Based on the authors´ recent discoveries this article reveals some hitherto hardly known facts concerning the history of cartography of the 1940s.     

An iconic query language for topological relationships in GIS

Abstract

The study of query languages for spatial databases is an active research area. This paper describes a new spatial query language that uses a visual grammar to express topological relationships. It is supplemented by text and icons to handle other spatial and non-spatial queries. A graphical user interface is also developed to provide an interactive environment for composing the iconic query command. To test the language, the interface is implemented on a SUN 4 Workstation and linked to Ingres, a relational DBMS. Preliminary tests show that the iconic query language is more convenient for expressing spatial concepts than conventional textual languages. This is due mainly to the two-dimensionality of iconic languages in contrast with the linear nature of conventional languages.     

Interactive Design of 3D Maps with Progressive Projection

Abstract

The progressive projection is by origin a manual cartographic technique, traditionally used by panoramic landscape painters; however, it is rarely encountered in digitally created three-dimensional (3D) maps. In this article, the advantages of this specific projection when designing 3D maps are presented, the processes involved in its manual construction, as well as the existing and potential digital implementation approaches, are reviewed. A new algorithmic solution is described, allowing for user-friendly interactive bending of a terrain model into a progressive view, with options to add a curved horizon, to vertically exaggerate the terrain, and to create a 360° strip panorama. The resulting software, Terrain Bender, is freely available for download.     

A New Method for Finding Geographic Centers,with Application to U.S. States

The geographic center of a region is a fundamental geographic concept, and yet there is no commonly accepted method for its determination. This article discusses some of its history as well as its definition and calculation, and a new method for its calculation is suggested. The new method minimizes the sum of squared great circle distances from all points in the region to the center. This entails (1) projecting regional boundary points using an azimuthal equidistant projection, (2) finding the geographic center of the projected two-dimensional region, and (3) then transforming this location back to a latitude and longitude. This new approach is used to find the geographic center of the contiguous United States and to provide a new list of the geographic centers for U.S. states. This list improves on the widely used but inaccurate list published by the United States Geological Survey in 1923.     

Wavelet analysis-based projection pursuit autoregression model and its application in the runoff forecasting of Li Xiangjiang basin

ABSTRACT

The wavelet analysis technique was combined in this study with the projection pursuit autoregression (PPAR) model, and a new mid- and long-term runoff forecasting model, the wavelet analysis-based PPAR (PPAR-WA) is proposed, which realizes runoff forecasting from the perspective of the internal mechanism of a sequence. The runoff forecasting of the leading hydropower station in the Li Xianjiang cascade reservoirs in China was carried out to test the performance of the proposed model, and the accuracy and stability of the forecasting results were evaluated and analysed. The results show that the average relative error of the forecasting period can reach 9.6%, and the best relative error is less than 5% in some years. In addition, compared with PPAR, a back-propagation neural network and autoregression moving average model through three evaluation indexes, the results of PPAR-WA have higher accuracy and stronger stability. So, it has a certain value of popularization and application.     

基于物理模型的起伏地表构造成像叠加速度分析研究

在起伏地表构造条件下,共中心点反射已不复存在,其波场特征较为复杂,速度分析时受浅层动校畸变影响较大,加上其他干扰因素,利用常规处理手段已很难得到较为准确的近地表构造和起伏地表浅层的叠加速度.为此,设计了两个物理模型,利用地震物理模拟实验数据采集系统对模型进行了数据采集.在采集到的地震物理模拟数据的资料处理过程中,对单炮记录进行向上延拓,然后再进行速度分析,并在动校正后多次调整叠加速度来得到视叠加速度,从而避免了浅层动校畸变大的影响.物理模型的模拟实验及处理结果表明,向上延拓是解决近地表构造和起伏地表浅层叠加速度的有效手段,通过向上延拓处理可以得到较为准确的近地表构造的视叠加速度,利用这样的叠加速度成像,可以得到近地表构造和起伏地表浅层构造较为真实有效的信息.
