Towards GPU-Accelerated Web-GIS for Query-Driven Visual Exploration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Web-GIS has played an important role in supporting accesses, visualization and analysis of geospatial data over the Web for the past two decades. However, most of existing WebGIS software stacks are not able to exploit increasingly available parallel computing power and provide the desired high performance to support more complex applications on large-scale geospatial data. Built on top our past works on developing high-performance spatial query processing techniques on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), we propose a novel yet practical framework on developing a GPU-accelerated Web-GIS environment to support Query-Driven Visual Explorations (QDVE) on Big Spatial Data. An application case on visually exploring global biodiversity data is presented to demonstrate the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed framework and related techniques on both the frontend and backend of the prototype system.

Towards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...

The Spatial Relation Query (SRQ) tool is a graphical software system, supported by a SQL-like query language, that enables users to perform information extraction driven by the visual appearance and the spatial arrangement of the information. The tool has been initially designed to support visual information extraction from web pages. Indeed, its former underlying spatial relation formalism rel...

Traditionally environmental scientists are limited to simple display and animation of large-scale raster geospatial data derived from remote sensing instrumentation and model simulation outputs. Identifying regions that satisfy certain range criteria, e.g., temperature between [t1,t2) and precipitation between [p1,p2), plays an important role in query-driven visualization and visual exploration...
متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...
