一种线状要素三维建模的点符号化方法

本文通过对现有的点、线要素三维建模机制进行分析,提出了线状要素三维建模的点符号化方法:首先对线要素离散化,将线要素组成单元的三维模型用作点符号对离散点进行符号化处理,通过调整每个点符号的大小及旋转角度,实现所有模型的拼接。实验证明,该方法能在一定程度上实现线状要素的精细三维建模,为三维GIS中线要素的快速低成本精细三维建模提供了一种可行的途径。     

Smart Cartographic Background Symbolization for Map Mashups in Geoportals: A Proof of Concept by Example of Landuse Representation

Geospatial data are now widely available to the general public thanks to geoportals and online mapping platforms. However, creating a map involves more than just combining data layers. Thus we develop cartographic functions for geoportals to support better visual hierarchy in user map mashups. This includes a couple of preparatory steps followed by a smart cartographic background symbolization derived from the original layer style. We evaluate different approaches to background symbolization: greyscale, desaturation, and smart background. The different background symbolization methods are analysed with two concrete map examples and evaluated with a survey. The smart background symbolization developed in this work improves the visual hierarchy of the map mashup by reducing the visual importance of the background layers.
