  • Biophysical spectral regionalization of the Pacific Northwest using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Imagery

    Creator:
    Greninger, Jon F.
    Abstract:
    Satellite imagery has become an efficient and time effective tool that may aid in the development of regional terrestrial and aquatic resource management schemes. A methodology utilizing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, 1.1 kilometer spatial resolution at nadir, was developed for delineating...

  • 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...

  • Photorealistic landscape visualization : A step towards a Digital Earth

    Creator:
    Dey, Ryan M.
    Abstract:
    A Digital Earth is a visualization tool that uses the latest technologies to embed vast quantities of geographic data into easily understood information. By creating three-dimensional landscape visualizations that look as photorealistic as current technology allows, it becomes possible to see, explore, and spatially understand parts of the Earth as...

  • 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...

  • The affect of pattern on gray tone area symbols: a psychophysical experiment

    Creator:
    Selle, Anthony R.
    Abstract:
    Equal value gray scales are frequently employed by cartographers to choose gray tone area symbols. Several researchers have tried to quantify perceived gray tone as a function of percent area inked or reflectance but results have varied. The influence of pattern and texture on gray tone perception is considered a...

  • 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...

  • Vegetation analysis and spatial visualization of a tidal salt marsh

    Creator:
    Buchner, Ed L.
    Abstract:
    Mitchell Marsh, a tidal salt marsh in the Salmon River Estuary, was diked in the early 1960s. Restoration of the marsh, which began in late 1978, consisted of partial dike removal. Several studies have been conducted in the marsh, addressing the status of the developing salt marsh plant communities. Species...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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,...
