  • Geometric laws for moire patterns produced by cartographic tint screens

    Creator:
    Greenfield, Leslie Susan
    Abstract:
    Moire patterns have been identified by printers as undesirable screen patterns caused by incorrect angling of overprinted halftones. These patterns are being examined by cartographers as a possible alternative to traditional methods of producing patterned areas on maps. Map design guidelines are needed before the use of moires can become...

  • A comparison and contrast of pcARC/INFO vs. AutoCAD

    Creator:
    Smith, Pamela Ann
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the confusion that exists between general definitions of what constitutes a GIS or CAD system. Then a comparison and contrast is made of microcomputer versions of GIS and CAD programs using as examples two of the most popular, pcARC/INFO and Aut0CAD. The differences and similarities are discussed...

  • Equal contrast tint progressions for computer cartography

    Creator:
    Bernert, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    A psychophysical bisectioning experiment was performed to evaluate equal steps within tint progressions on a high resolution graphics terminal. In the bisectioning experiment each respondent partitioned a tint progression by interactively defining colors that were perceptually equidistant between two previously defined colors. Twenty test subjects performed the test on the...

  • Geographic information systems : some considerations for use in geographic research and analysis

    Creator:
    Herstrom, Andrew A.
    Abstract:
    The major considerations for acquiring and using a geographic information system (G..I.S.) for regional or national geographical research and analysis are examined in this paper. After defining what a G.I.S. is, some of the more practical and useful functions of a G.I.S. in day-to--day geographical work are outlined. Finally, the...

  • Color specification and cartography: a comparison of the Munsell Color System and the HLS system

    Creator:
    Yeaple, Anne
    Abstract:
    Progress in the development of color CRT's and color graphic hard-copy devices offers a new tool for the thematic mapper. From a cartographic perspective, the technology for displaying and producing color maps has advanced without concern for cartographic principles and conventions in the employment of color. Since it is necessary...

  • Cartographic and projective techniques for a Corvallis area electrical load forecast

    Creator:
    Troseth, Steven
    Abstract:
    The Corvallis area study is made to help evaluate the local need for additional system capacity ten years in the future. The product of the study is an areally detailed projection of electrical demand. The demand is derived in two steps: the location, nature, and intensity of specific land uses...

  • Remote sensing methodology for bioenvironmental surveillance in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power Plant, Oregon

    Creator:
    Denkers, D. Scott
    Abstract:
    In 1979, the Geographic Applications Laboratory of the Department of Geography, Oregon State University, was retained by the Portland General Electric Company to form and supervise a program to monitor the bioenvironment in the vicinity of the Boardman Coal-Fired Power plant. This partially fulfills requirements of the Department of Energy...

  • Expert systems in computer cartography

    Creator:
    Ulshoefer, Veit Stefan
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of expert system concepts to cartographic problems. Expert systems, a subfield of artificial intelligence, are computer programs based on knowledge and symbolic reasoning. The basic principles of expert systems will be explained. Areas of cartography that are most suitable for...

  • The influence of map complexity on interpolation accuracy.pdf

    Creator:
    Young, Brian K.
    Abstract:
    In this paper "map complexity" refers to the inherent intricacy of a mapped geographic pattern. Map complexity and sample size are two variables shown to influence the accuracy of interpolated dasymetric maps. An automated experiment was designed to investigate the precise relationship among map complexity, sample size, and the accuracy...

    Spielman, Julie B.
    Abstract:
    A program, Color Choropleth Mapping System (CCMS), has been developed to provide high quality color choropleth maps at the Geography Department at Oregon State University. The program operates interactively and is menu-driven. When developing the software for mapping programs, programmers need to be aware of cartographic theory, as well as...
