By using the standard deviation and mean center spatial analyses, it indicates that at the spatial-temporal aspect, the academies hotspot moved from north to south, also had an extension trend from eastern area to inner western area. The central area made an important role in the academies' development due to its advantages in the geographical condition. And the whole coverage of the academies in this area increased from the Tang dynasty to the Qing dynasty. The comparison to the existent studies shows that the spatial analysis based on the spatial database is feasible.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131981581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urban expansion characteristics of Xiangtan City are systemically analyzed by using many indices, such as urban expansion speed, spatial expansion fractal characteristic, urban expansion's impact on local land use, and so on. According to temporal and spatial characteristics, and corresponding driving factors of Xiangtan City in the past 25 years, BP-CA model is constructed by considering advantages of back propagation neural network and cellular automata model in urban expansion simulation and prediction. Spatial expansion of the urban land in Xiangtan City during 2010–2020 is simulated, evaluated and predicted.

This paper proposes a novel method to generate multi-resolution representations of the 3D complex building model with features preservation based on cell clustering. The quadratic error function is constructed to efficiently measure the clustering error of each cell. First, the 3D complex building model is converted into volumetric representation. Then, the boundary cells are progressively clustered into a coarser version and a corresponding cell binary tree is generated. Finally, the simplified building model can be extracted according to a modified dual contouring algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed approach provides an efficient and robust solution for the automated generation of multi-resolution building models, with capability of preserving the dominated structure features.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134189412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spatial data distribution is the main aspect of spatial information services. One of the main contradictions is that the current limited network bandwidth cannot meet the request for achieving realtime space data. Global Subdivision proposed a new theory of spatial division and data organization. The patches in subdivision grids have the similar size and can cover the globe isotropic and seamlessly. Every patch's identification contains the location and scale information. So, the distribution system based on Global subdivision grid model can flexibly choose the different scale conditions and different spatial resolution data according to the user's interested region and real-time communications. Ultimately, through the multi-scale spatial distribution and progressive transmission, users can achieve the spatial data they want at anytime and anywhere.","PeriodicalId":413886,"journal":{"name":"2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130753882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly all possible elements are identified based on AHP method, then the fuzzy set is built and the membership function is constructed based on experts experience method. The results of the function are inputted as the basic probability assignment (BPA) of DS. Finally the preference relations of each decision are determined.
