Visualizing Geospatial Data Topic #2: New Directions in Distributed Geovisualization
نویسنده
چکیده
The potential for interdisciplinary research and development to result in a fundamental advance in the availability and use of geospatial information was highlighted in a recent National Research Council Report – IT Roadmap to a Geospatial Future (Muntz et al., 2003). The interdisciplinary challenges outlined in this report were one impetus for organizing this course – to stimulate more cross-disciplinary sharing of ideas. To put my portion of the course into context, I begin with a sketch of the historical cartographic roots that my own perspectives build on.

Geovisualization illustrated
In recent years, the visualization of geospatial data has undergone dramatic and important developments. Next to static maps, nowadays, immersive and highly interactive virtual environments can be used to explore and present dynamic geospatial data. Additionally, the World Wide Web has developed into a prominent medium to disseminate geospatial data and maps. In visualizing geospatial data, met...
متن کاملCognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization
We provide a research agenda for the International Cartographic Association’s Commission on Visualization and Virtual Environment working group on Cognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization. Developments in hardware and software have led to (and will continue to stimulate) novel methods for visualizing geospatial data. It is our belief that these novel methods will be of little use if t...
متن کاملPotentials and Challenges of Service-Oriented 3D Geovisualization
Virtual 3D city models are digital, georeferenced representations of spatial objects, structures and phenomenons of urban areas, which are increasingly built and leveraged in various application areas such as urban planning, environmental management and tourism. Visual representations of geospatial information and 3D city models in particular proved to be valuable means to facilitate thinking, ...
متن کاملA 3d Geovisualization Approach to Crime Mapping
This contribution presents an approach to visualize crime scene analysis results with three-dimensional geovirtual environments. Commonly, the results of those crime data analyses are published trough thematic maps. Therefore cartographic visualizations can be considered as a key element to communicate the outcomes of crime analysis. Those visualizations produced by crime analysts both in opera...
متن کاملGeospatial Cyberinfrastructure: Past, present and future
A Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is a combination of data resources, network protocols, computing platforms, and computational services that brings people, information, and computational tools together to perform science or other data-rich applications in this information-driven world. Most science domains adopt intrinsic geospatial principles (such as spatial constraints in phenomena evolution) for ...
