Hexagonal Discrete Global Grid Systems for Geospatial Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
Advanced geospatial applications often involve complex computing operations performed under sometimes severe resource constraints. These applications primarily rely on traditional raster and vector data structures based on square lattices. But there is a significant body of research that indicates that data structures based on hexagonal lattices may be a superior alternative for efficient representation and processing of raster and vector data in high performance applications. The advantages of hexagonal rasters for image processing are discussed, and hexagonal discrete global grid systems for location coding are introduced. The combination provides an efficient, unified approach to location representation and processing in geospatial systems.

Hexagonal connectivity maps for Digital Earth
Geospatial data is gathered through a variety of different methods. The integration and handling of such data-sets within a Digital Earth framework are very important in many aspects of science and engineering. One means of addressing these tasks is to use a Discrete Global Grid System and map points of the Earth’s surface to cells. An indexing mechanism is needed to access the data and handle ...

The first geometric-arithmetic index was introduced in the chemical theory as the summation of 2 du dv /(du dv ) overall edges of the graph, where du stand for the degree of the vertex u. In this paper we give the expressions for computing the first geometric-arithmetic index of hexagonal systems and phenylenes and present new method for describing hexagonal system by corresponding a simple g...
