Computations on an Ellipsoid for GIS

چکیده
We describe several challenging issues related to virtual globe manipulations for GIS that highlight the important interplay between geometric modeling and scientific visualization. We begin by motivating and describing a globe tessellation algorithm designed to avoid singularities at the poles, then discuss other uses of the tessellation that enable certain types of shape modeling on the surface of the virtual globe.

Applications to Subset Selection for MVE Estimator and Multiclass Discrimination
The MVE estimator is an important estimator in robust statistics and characterized by an ellipsoid which contains inside 100β percent of given points in IR n and attains the minimal volume, where β ∈ [0.5, 1.0) is of usual interest. The associated minimal ellipsoid can be considered as a generalization of the minimum volume covering ellipsoid which covers all the given points since the latter e...
متن کاملConditional Minimum Volume Ellipsoid with Applications to Subset Selection for MVE Estimator and Multiclass Discrimination
In this paper, we present a new formulation for constructing an ellipsoid which generalizes the computation of the minimum volume covering ellipsoid, based on the CVaR minimization technique proposed by Rockafellar and Uryasev (2002). The proposed ellipsoid construction is formulated as a convex optimization and an interior point algorithm for the solution can be developed. In addition, the opt...
متن کاملSupermap Gis 6r: a Real Space Gis
We present a novel GIS, Real Space GIS, which is a 2D & 3D integration GIS. Real Space GIS is based on Real Space which is 3D geographical space and 2D map space which is based on geographical sphere or ellipsoid comparing to Paper Space GIS which is based on traditional Paper Space based on paper map coordinates. Real Space GIS mainly integrates data structure, data model, data storage, data v...
متن کاملA new approach for Robot selection in manufacturing using the ellipsoid algorithm
The choice of suitable robots in manufacturing, to improve product quality and to increase productivity, is a complicated decision due to the increase in robot manufacturers and configurations. In this article, a novel approach is proposed to choose among alternatives, differently assessed by decision makers on different criteria, to make the final evaluation for decision-making. The approach i...
متن کاملDistributing Computations Among GIS Servers
Scientiic databases, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), pose a number of challenging problems for system architects and implementors. Foremost is the amount of data to be stored and processed , necessitating distribution of the data at multiple sites and in multiple formats to be used by multiple analysis packages. However, the end user does not care about the complexities that res...
