Supporting Dynamic Labeling in Web Map Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
Web mapping based on client-side application programming interfaces (APIs) is very popular, especially for mashups. However, we can observe that most of these applications use no labeling. Thus, fast comprehensibility of such maps is hindered. In this paper, we investigate the reasons for this situation. Based on this analysis, a specification is presented that fosters the use of dynamic point labels in web map applications. This concept is abstract, simple to use, flexible and can be combined with a grid-based management of symbols. We demonstrate the applicability of this approach by a prototype that performs a browser-based dynamic labeling.

Displaying R spatial statistics on Google dynamic maps with web applications created by Rwui
BACKGROUND The R project includes a large variety of packages designed for spatial statistics. Google dynamic maps provide web based access to global maps and satellite imagery. We describe a method for displaying directly the spatial output from an R script on to a Google dynamic map. METHODS This is achieved by creating a Java based web application which runs the R script and then displays ...

Most web applications deliver personalized features by making decisions on behalf of the user. Thus, the user’s web experience is still a fractionated process due to a lack of user-centric web integration. In contrast, smarter web applications will empower the user to control the integration of web resources according to personal concerns. Moreover, as the user’s situation and web resources con...

Brief description The problem of map labeling is well-studied in GIS and computational geometry. The standard setting for such problems is the traditional (static) map. We are interested in dynamic maps, the sort we are familiar with on the web. The user can zoom and pan to view different portions of some large map that does not fit in the screen. One idea for solving dynamic labeling is to red...
متن کاملVHR Semantic Labeling by Random Forest Classification and Fusion of Spectral and Spatial Features on Google Earth Engine
Semantic labeling is an active field in remote sensing applications. Although handling high detailed objects in Very High Resolution (VHR) optical image and VHR Digital Surface Model (DSM) is a challenging task, it can improve the accuracy of semantic labeling methods. In this paper, a semantic labeling method is proposed by fusion of optical and normalized DSM data. Spectral and spatial featur...
