Advancing Digital Earth: beyond the next generation

The Digital Earth (DE) movement is gaining momentum. Much of it is unstructured. This paper examines a number of recent developments including those in health sensors (Wearable Absence, Q-Sensor, and Guardian Angels) and systems frameworks (Gelernter's Mirror Worlds, Virtual Australia, and New Zealand). Consideration is given to the implications of DE for citizens and on citizen science, including those of ethics. A suite of principles to guide the development of DE is proposed.     

A multistage collaborative 3D GIS to support public participation

This paper presents a collaborative 3D GIS to support public participation. Realizing that public-involved decision-making is often a multistage process, the proposed system is designed to provide coherent support for collaborations in the different stages. We differentiate ubiquitous participation and intensive participation and identify their suitable application stages. The proposed system, then, supports both of the two types of participation by providing synchronous and asynchronous collaboration functionalities. Applying the concept of Digital Earth, the proposed system also features a virtual globe-based user interface. Such an interface integrates a variety of data, functions, and services into a unified virtual environment which is delivered to both experts and public participants through the Internet. The system has been designed as a general software framework and can be tailored for specific projects. In this study, we demonstrate it using a scene modeling case and provide a preliminary evaluation toward its usability.

Self-similarity Based Editing of 3D Surface Textures Using Height and Albedo Maps

This paper presents an inexpensive method for self-similarity based editing of real-world 3D surface textures by using height and albedo maps. Unlike self-similarity based 2D texture editing approaches which only make changes to pixel color or inten- sity values, this technique also allows surface geometry and reflectance of the captured 3D surface textures to be edited and relit us- ing illumination conditions and viewing angles that differ from those of the original. A single editing operation at a given location affects all similar areas and produces changes on all images of the sample rendered under different conditions. Since surface height and albedo maps can be used to describe seabed topography and geologic features, which play important roles in many oceanic proc- esses, the proposed method can be effectively employed in applications regarding visualization and simulation of oceanic phenom- ena.     

北斗GEO/IGSO/MEO卫星定轨地面站构型影响分析及其优化

GNSS卫星定轨精度主要取决于卫星动力学模型精度和GNSS几何观测信息。由于北斗GEO/IGSO卫星静地、高轨特性,以及力学模型不精确等原因,地面几何观测信息对轨道改进至关重要。本文讨论了北斗GEO/IGSO/MEO卫星定轨地面站分布影响及优化改进方法。在简化动力学定轨模型基础上,探讨多历元几何观测信息累积对轨道的改进;研究了北斗导航卫星定轨理想几何构型条件,得到影响定轨精度的几何因子,包括测站数量、覆盖范围、分布密度;利用离散概率密度方法研究地面站构型,分析了3类卫星轨道改进机理和优化方法。通过算例,讨论了增加5个中国区域基准站改善离散概率密度指标,优化全球北斗卫星定轨构型,发现GEO和IGSO卫星精度改善最为明显,MEO卫星改善最小;其中GEO卫星提高了10%,IGSO卫星提高了16%,MEO卫星提高了4%。     

总体最小二乘用于线阵卫星遥感影像光束法平差解算

顾及像点观测方程的系数矩阵中存在随机误差,提出了基于总体最小二乘的线阵卫星遥感影像光束法平差模型。在假定像点观测误差和系数矩阵误差均为独立、等精度分布的基础上,利用拉格朗日条件极值法推导了包含外方位元素虚拟观测方程和控制点误差方程的总体最小二乘光束法平差算法的具体公式和计算方法。该方法利用方差分量估计确定各类虚拟观测值的方差,可求解包含多类虚拟观测量的平差问题,并可用先验信息或岭迹法确定系数矩阵观测值的权比例系数,从而克服了现有总体最小二乘虚拟观测方法不能处理多类虚拟观测值的不足,确保了光束法平差可正确有效求解。分别利用模拟算例与两组真实影像进行了试验验证。结果表明,相比于常规最小二乘虚拟观测法以及现有总体最小二乘虚拟观测方法,本文方法具有更高的求解精度与适应性。相较于传统线阵卫星遥感影像光束法平差方法,本文方法可以获得更高的平差计算精度。
