Triangulations for Rubber-sheeting
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper focuses on the application of triangulation and rubber-sheeting techniques to the problem of merging two digitized map files. The Census Bureau is currently developing a map merging procedure called conflation. Reproducibility, quality control, and a desire for mathematical consistency in conflation lead to a need for well-defined procedures. The Delaunay triangulation is well-defined and in some sense the 'best' triangulation on a finite set of points. It leads naturally into an efficient rubber^sheeting algorithm. The discussion starts with triangulations and rubber-sheeting in general and well-defined triangulations. This leads to the Delaunay triangulation, an algorithm for that triangulation and a specific rubber-sheeting technique. Finally, some problems that require further research are mentioned in an appendix.

Resolving Mismatches and Measure Functions for Evaluating Its Validity
One of the difficulties in building consistent databases comes from mismatches between two digital maps. They are caused by the diversity of database providers and the methodology of map production. Rubber sheeting is one of crucial problems in Geographical Information System, which is a mapping procedure to resolve mismatches between two geographical maps representing the same region with a fe...
متن کاملSubset Warping: Rubber Sheeting with Cuts
Image warping, often referred to as “rubber sheeting” represents the deformation of a domain image space into a range image space. In this paper, a technique is described which extends the definition of a rubber-sheet transformation to allow a polygonal region to be warped into one or more subsets of itself, where the subsets may be multiply connected. To do this, it constructs a set of “slits”...

متن کاملNon-contact experimental methods to characterise the response of a hyper-elastic membrane
Background: Membranes often feature in dynamic structures. The design of such structures generally includes the evaluation of their dynamic characteristics, such as natural frequecies and mode shapes. Methods: The quasi-statics ad dyamic responses of thin rubber sheeting were investigated through non-contact experimental techniques. The rubber sheeting was modelled as a membrane structure and t...
متن کاملAn inexpensive homemade balloon cuff for endotracheal tubes.
In 1893, Maydl’ conceived of a plan for introducing an anesthetic through a tracheal tube; and Eisenmenger’ added an inflatable cuff around the distal end of the tube. However nothing was done with these ideas for over a quarter of a century. In 1924, Waters2 described the “carbon-dioxide absorption” method of anesthesia, and four years later Waters and Guedel3 published an article on the “Intr...
