True-3D In Cartography

The interdisciplinary character of the topic leads to a variety of contributions with backgrounds from academia to business and from computer science to geodesy.While cartography is aiming at efficient communication of spatial information, the development and availability of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities of achieving this aim. This book gives a general picture of research-driven activities related to location and map-based services.

.Furthermore, the content of the database – environmental issues in the city – gives a strong social and political texture to the project.

The joint symposium of ICA commissions is always one of the most important event for cartographers.Works were presented by members of the commissions on: Cartography and Children, Cartographic Education and Training, Maps and the Internet, Planetary Cartography, Early Warning and Disaster Management.

The joint symposium of ICA commissions is always one of the most important event for cartographers. This joint seminar in Orleans was connected to 25th International Cartographic Conference, Paris..Works were presented by members of the commissions on: Cartography and Children, Cartographic Education and Training, Maps and the Internet, Planetary Cartography, Early Warning and Disaster Management.

All of the chapters have been updated and revised thoroughly.They have been blind peer reviewed by two referees of international research standing in geospatial science, mostly in the subdisciplines of cartography and geovisualisation. Geospatial Visualisation.

True-3D in Cartography. It covers most aspects of (auto-) stereoscopic representation techniques of both topographic and thematic geodata, be they haptic or not. As corroborated by the never-sagging and even increasing interest within the last decade, the intuitive attraction of "True 3D" in geodata presentation is well worth covering its current status and recent developments in a compendium like the present one.Theory is treated as well as are many fields of concrete applications.

Geospatial Visualisation. This book is a selection of chapters evolved from papers on completed research submitted to GeoCart’2010 / the 1st ICA Regional Symposium on Cartography for Australasia and Oceania, held in Auckland, New Zealand, 1st -3rd September 2010.
