4D data visualization incorporating time into 3D animations

Creator:

Boright, Jonathan

Abstract:

ArcView 3D Analyst is a powerful geospatial tool, and has proven very useful in 3D visualization and analysis. In most cases, 3D data models are temporally static, representing only one instance in time. For many applications, the 'missing' time dimension is of great significance, and there is a need to...

Capstone Project
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...

Capstone Project
A Methodology to directly input data from an uncontrolled aerial photograph into a vector based geographic information system

Creator:

Sneed, Jacquelin M.

Abstract:

Historically the U.S. Forest Service has used uncorrected aerial photographs to delineate proposed and past management activities on the land base it manages. Transferring a boundary from an image not planimetrically correct to a planimetrically corrected image introduces errors. Positional accuracy of boundaries affects the number of acres the Forest...

Masters Thesis
A site suitability model for Acacia koa reforestation on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i, utilizing a GIS

Creator:

Splean, Scott L.

Abstract:

A site suitability analysis for reforestation of the endemic Hawaiian forest tree koa (Acacia koa var. hawaiiensis) was performed. The study will assist the Hawai'i Resource Conservation and Development's (RCD) Forestry Committee in their effort to develop a master land use plan for koa regeneration on the Island of Hawai'i....

Capstone Project
A TM-based hardwood-conifer mixture index for closed canopy forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

Maiersperger, Thomas K.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop, implement, and test methods for quantifying the relative proportion of hardwood and conifer cover from Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery. The research was focused on closed canopy forests in the Oregon Coast Range, where hardwood, conifer, and mixed stand conditions are prevalent. Based...

Capstone Project
A translator program converting a digitized map into the format of the American proposed standard for digital cartographic data

Creator:

Langen, Gido

Abstract:

The American Proposed Standard for Digital Cartographic Data presents the new national exchange format which allows the transfer of spatial data among parties that may use different computer hardware and different operating system software. A translator program for the conversion of the AutoCAD DXf data structure to the Standard's output...

Masters Thesis
Accuracy of community-based spatial data collection in a GIS

Creator:

Wood, Matthew N.

Abstract:

Training high school students to conduct field mapping and data collection of wildlife habitat on public lands produces important data for local government geographic information systems and introduces students to the field of geography. However, the positional accuracy of the spatial data is important for use in a GIS, as...

Capstone Project
Airborne videography as a classification and validation technique for Landsat TM-based vegetation mapping

Creator:

Barrett, Charley, 1965-

Abstract:

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's (ODFW) Ecological Analysis Center (EAC) is in the process of creating, from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, a vegetation map of Oregon that will meet the latest standards set by the National Gap Analysis Program. Since field verification is often expensive and by...

Masters Thesis
An application of photogrammetric techniques to the measurement of historic photographs

Creator:

Strausz, David A. Jr

Abstract:

The application of the collinearity solution by resection of the interior and exterior orientation parameters of historical photographs is investigated. The spatial coordinates of seven or more identifiable control points in the field of view of an historical photograph, combined with image coordinates of the control point images, allow solution...

Capstone Project
An evaluation of species-area curves created from a systematically sampled date set using an automated accumulation technique

Creator:

Dale, Becci

Abstract:

This paper examines the influence of species, method, and area on automated species-area curve created from a systematically sampled data set. Because this is a new approach to species-area curves, three tests were run to evaluate the performance of the data sets and accumulation technique. The tests involved 1) range...
