Mapping applications, i.e. websites where a multi-scale navigation in topographic maps is available, may be used for wayfinding purpose for instance. Such mapping applications display multi-scale maps, i.e. set of maps at different scale. However, the displayed representations can present large differences (Fig. 1). To recognize the different representations of the same real world entity across...

PURPOSE To describe a new software tool for the detailed presentation of corneal topography measurements variability by means of color-coded maps. METHODS Software was developed in Visual Basic to analyze and process a series of 10 consecutive measurements obtained by a topographic system on calibration spheres, and individuals with emmetropic, low, high, and irregular astigmatic corneas. Cor...

Topographic maps are commonly constructed from electrical scalp recordings (such as EEGs and ERPs) using several different interpolation methods. It is important to determine the accuracy of such maps. Previous assessments of interpolation methods have been based on global error measures and the visual appearance of the topographic maps. However, the relationship of interpolation error to local...

geomorphic indexes are useful tools in identification of evaluation in trace of tectonic activity (relatively rapid or even slow). since the drainage network morphology and behavior changes resulting from tectonic activity are very sensitive it seems to be evidence such as crossing the fault line and changes river bed affected by the neotectonic activities in basin. thus, for understanding and ...

A striking feature of cortical organization is that the encoding of many stimulus features, for example orientation or direction selectivity, is arranged into topographic maps. Functional imaging methods such as optical imaging of intrinsic signals, voltage sensitive dye imaging or functional magnetic resonance imaging are important tools for studying the structure of cortical maps. As function...

Recently, there has been a considerable research activity in extending topographic maps of vectorial data to more general data structures, such as sequences or trees. However, the representational capabilities and internal representations of the models are not well understood. We rigorously analyze a generalization of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) for processing sequential data, Recursive SOM (...

the effect of soil and topographic features on distribution of amygdalus scoparia in nehbandan (iran) was investigated. slope, aspect and altitudinal maps were overlaid to prepare a working map unit. quantitative and qualitative traits, including height, number, collar diameter of sprout with the highest diameter, crown diameter and trunk health were recorded in 1000 m2 plots (27 plots). in eac...
