This paper introduces the concept of the smooth tGAP structure represented by a space-scale partition, which we term the space-scale cube. We take the view of 'map generalization is extrusion of data into an additional dimension'. For 2D objects the resulting vario-scale representation is a 3D structure, while for 3D objects the resulting vario-scale representation is a 4D structure. This paper...

To meet European Water Framework Directive requirements, data are needed on faecal indicator organism (FIO) concentrations in rivers to enable the more heavily polluted to be targeted for remedial action. Due to the paucity of FIO data for the UK, especially under high-flow hydrograph event conditions, there is an urgent need by the policy community for generic models that can accurately predic...

This paper investigates the impact of proper tile size selection on the power the power consumption for tile-based processors. We refer to this investigation as a tile granularity study. This is accomplished by distilling the architectural cost of tiles with different computational widths into a system metric we call the Granularity Indicator (GI). The GI is then compared against the bisection ...

Anhand eines Most-Frequent-Case und eines Worst-Case Bedienszenarios bei Feldarbeiten mit dem Ackerschlepper wurde jeweils die Gesamt-Usability zweier Interfacesysteme über eine objektive Bewertungsmethode bestimmt. Bewertet wurden die Bedeutungsund Bewegungskompatibilität sowie die Bedienbarkeit bzw. Erreichbarkeit der Interfaceelemente der Baureihen Fendt Vario 900 (Baujahr 2012) und Claas Ax...

This paper focuses on 3D data structures supporting an alternative approach for creating 2D vario-scale maps. The smooth animated zooming functionality have lead us to investigate a volumetric representation of gradually changing vario-scale objects. In this paper, the principle of vario-scale maps with theoretical knowledge about 3D representation (2D space plus 1D scale) is briefly introduced...
