A practical hierarchical component-based WebGIS model referred to as Geo-Union is presented. Geo-Union consists of four layers: storage layer, service layer, component layer and application layer. Service layer is partitioned into another two layers: Geo-Union client and Geo-Union server. The architectures and object diagram of each layer in Geo-Union are discussed in details. After that, four ...

The amount and availability of high-quality geo-spatial image data, such as digital satellite and aerial photographs, is increasing dramatically. Task-based management of such visual information and associated knowledge is a central concern for organisations that rely on digital imagery. We are developing geo-spatial knowledge management techniques that employ case-based reasoning as the core m...

Currently, Geo-data-mining and knowledge discovering, new kernel of GIS spatial analysis study, which help breaking theoretic limitation of Geo-expert system and revealing an innovative research roadmap for new era Geo-information sciences, represent latest researching trend of GIS. Various research communities have tried to applying or revising mathematic tools as probability theory, spatial s...

This paper presents a number of new techniques for parallelizing geo-spatial database systems and discusses their implementation in the Paradise object-relational database system. The effectiveness of these techniques is demonstrated using a variety of complex geo-spatial queries over a 120 GB global geo-spatial data set.

Recently ontology research has received much attention in geo-information science and the concept of ontology is very important for spatial information concept modeling and data sharing, classification of geographical classes. More importantly, it enriches the semantic theory of spatial information. Geo-information services and geo-information interpretation and extraction are the two main appl...

With their increasing availability and quantity, remote sensing images have become an invaluable data source for geographic research and beyond. The detection and analysis of spatial patterns from such images and other kinds of geographic fields, constitute a core aspect of Geographic Information Science. Per-cell analysis, where one cell’s characteristics are considered (geo-atom), and interac...

To meet the need of various administrative operations such as estate infrastructure planning and management, allotment and regulation of the industrial plots, establishing new estates at various locations, Geo Spatial Technology is the key solution. Geo spatial technology covers spatial dimension which facilitates to visualize outlook of industrial estates at dynamic geographical scale. The int...

The geo-spatial database is a new technology in database systems which allow storing, retrieving and maintaining the spatial data. In this paper, we seek to design and implement a geo-spatial database for managing the traveler’s demand with the aid of open-source tools and object-relational database package. The building of geo-spatial database starts with the design of data model in terms of c...

After the setup of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) and national information infrastructure (NII) in many countries geo-services become one of the most important and attractive tasks. With the integration of GPS, GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) we can principally answer any geo-spatial related question: when and where what object has which changes? An intelligent Geo-service agent would provide th...
