Cartographic Visualisation and Landscape Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Perception plays a major role for interpretation or extracting information from remote sensing data and from thematic maps. With advances in information technology, there remains a necessary and critical role for the “human in the loop” in the interpretation of remotely sensed imagery, in earth sciences and cartography. On the side of information technology display systems play a critical role in supporting visualization, and in recent years it has become widely recognized that the visualization of data is critical in science, including the domain of cartography, a field with a long-standing interest in issues of communication effectiveness. These cartographic concerns pertaining to the features of display symbols, elements, and patterns have clear effects on process of perception and visual search. In this study an attempt has been made to harness, interpret, compare and evaluate landscape aesthetics with cartographic aesthetics. By understanding and incorporating cartographic aesthetics with landscape aesthetics, the cartographic design process can be strengthened and effective maps can be generated. Here both landscape and cartography are considered as objects of aesthetics and an attempt has been made to evaluate their aesthetic experience and to analyze their various patterns of similarity and exceptions. By doing this it formulates and facilitates conception of feeling, expression and visual reality all together in the cartographic design process.
