Georeferenced lives
نویسندگان
چکیده
To give a georeference means to give a reference as existing in the physical space of Earth. This procedure is widely used for the location of archaeological, historical and other sites when geographic information systems (GIS) are used. Here we are proposing to georeference the lives of famous people (in the paper, Newton and Schiaparelli) for teaching purposes, to increase the appeal of some scientific disciplines.

Spatial Presentation and Aggregation of Georeferenced Data
In this paper, we will introduce a method of spatial presentation of georeferenced data in a three-dimensional space. Photographs, Quicktime VR’s, videos, and computer graphic renderings provide realistic presentations rich in visual information. We believe, however, there is an issue of visualizing georeferenced data such as attribute data for spatial objects as well as showing the objects the...

Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. I...
متن کاملGeoTree: Using spatial information for georeferenced video search
With the rapid popularization of video recording devices, more multimedia contents are available to public. However, current video search engines rely on textual data such as video titles, annotations, and text around the video. Video recording devices such as cameras, smartphones and car blackboxes are nowadays equipped with GPS sensors and able to capture videos with spatiotemporal informatio...
متن کاملGeoreferenced Point Clouds: A Survey of Features and Point Cloud Management
This paper presents a survey of georeferenced point clouds. Concentration is, on the one hand, put on features, which originate in the measurement process themselves, and features derived by processing the point cloud. On the other hand, approaches for the processing of georeferenced point clouds are reviewed. This includes the data structures, but also spatial processing concepts. We suggest a...
متن کاملUsing Spatial Reference Frames to Generate Grounded Textual Summaries of Georeferenced Data
Summarising georeferenced (can be identified according to it’s location) data in natural language is challenging because it requires linking events describing its nongeographic attributes to their underlying geography. This mapping is not straightforward as often the only explicit geographic information such data contains is latitude and longitude. In this paper we present an approach to genera...
