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...

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...

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...

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...

Determination of geographic information system database characteristics : an application of the information integration theory

Creator:: Brooks, Kris
Abstract:: The development of a geographic information system (GIS) requires the development of large databases of spatially related information. Scale, resolution and the classification of thematic data can vary considerably in terms of the level of detail at which the data are compiled and converted to machine readable form. The level...

Production of an animated cartography sample for teaching and instruction, with musings on the nature and usefulness of animated maps

Creator:: Whaley, Kristine A.
Abstract:: Animated cartography is still a new field. It has been experimented with for years, but it has not gained general usage except partially in use by the news media. Nevertheless, certain subjects cry out for displaying the patterns of movement over time, such as historical patterns of migration and settlement,...

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...

Geographic Information System model rating old-growth stand significance on the Olympic National Forest

Creator:: Wettengel, William M.
Abstract:: With increased attention being focused on the remaining old-growth forest resource in the Pacific Northwest a way to ecologically rate forest stands is needed to assist the U.S. Forest Service in its management decisions. A Geographic Information System (GIS) model was developed to rate old-growth stands in a 49,500 acre...

The development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Greenbelt Land Trust of Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Scarlett, Desiree
Abstract:: The purpose of this project, therefore, is to develop a GIS for a small geographical area that is currently of high priority to the GLT. The development of this GIS will be documented in a sequential fashion, so that it may serve as a framework for future endeavors. This paper...

Practitioner’s hands and academic eyes : a practical approach to improving disaster preparedness and response

Creator:: Thompson, Wiley C.
Abstract:: This dissertation primarily uses observations made during the 2005 Kashmir earthquake relief effort and available disaster literature to address problems that impede effective and efficient disaster preparedness and response. Three manuscripts form the body of the dissertation. The manuscripts are thematically linked through the Emergency Management Cycle. Each manuscript examines...
