Multiresolution Visualization and Compression of Global Topographic Data
We present a multiresolution model for surfaces which is able to handle large–scale global topographic data. It is based on a hierarchical decomposition of the sphere by a recursive bisection triangulation in geographic coordinates. Error indicators allow the representation of the data at various levels of detail and enable data compression by local omission of data values. The resulting hierar...
متن کاملCalculating River Length Based on Topographic Data
River length has been the particular interest of people. Topographic data, which are obtained from field survey or digitizing from topographies, can serve as ideal data source for river length calculating. The topographic data are vector-based data, which represent river entities as polygonal line. Depending on data scale, rivers are represented in topographic data as single-line (narrow) or do...
متن کاملCharacteristic Length Scales of Spatial Models in Ecology via Fluctuation Analysis
A technique of uctuation analysis is introduced for the identiication of characteristic length scales in spatial models, with similarities to the recently introduced methods by Rand & Wilson (1995). The identiied length scale provides the optimal size to extract nontrivial large-scale behaviour in such models. The method is demonstrated for three biological models: genetic selection, plant comp...
متن کاملCharacteristic Scales in Galaxy Formation
Recent data, e.g. from SDSS and 2dF, reveal a robust bi-modality in the distribution of galaxy properties, with a characteristic transition scale at stellar mass M∗ ∼ 3× 10 10 M⊙ (near L∗), corresponding to virial velocity V ∼ 100 kms . Smaller galaxies tend to be blue disks of young populations. They define a “fundamental line” of decreasing surface brightness, metallicity and velocity with de...
متن کاملAssessing Characteristic Scales Using Wavelets
Characteristic scale is a notion that pervades the geophysical sciences, but it has no widely accepted precise definition. The wavelet transform decomposes a time series into coefficients that are associated with different scales. The variance of these coefficients can be used to decompose the variance of the time series across different scales. A practical definition for characteristic scale c...
