章节摘录

插图：2. 6. 3 Comparisons Between Vector and Raster Data StructureA data storage structure may or may not incorporate topological information, describing not only an objeet's position, but also its spatial relationships with respect to neighboring objects. Topological information is important for many kinds of analyses, including automated error detection, windowing for analysis and graphic presentation, network applications, determining whether a point falls in a specific polygon, proximity operations, polygon overlay, and other intersection procedures (Peucker and Chrisman, 1975). However, if your application does not require this kind of detailed information about the relationships between spatial objects, the additional overhead of explicitly treating topology may significantly complicate the tasks of database creation and update. For example, unstructured vector lists may be perfectly adequate for some kinds of routine data display.Some kinds of topological information are implicit in spatial data. In a simple raster-structured data file, for example, there is a specified spatial organization for the data, with no gaps in the fabric of the database. The regularity in the array provides an implicit addressing system. This permits rapid random access to specified locations in the data-base. Thus, we know immediately those cells that are adjacent to any target location, and we can easily find and examine those regions that bound a specified group of cells. Topological information in vector structures is often coded explicitly in the database. Line segments within DIME files, for example, have identifiers and codes for the polygon on either side. When needed topological relationships are not explicitly coded in vector data structures, it can be relatively expensive and time-consuming to get the system to come up with them. For example, in some operational systems, data entry from maps starts with a digitizing process that does not require that the operator explicitly relate various line segments and polygons that use these segments as parts of their boundaries. Instead, after the operator creates what is sometimes called cartographic spaghetti, a batch process link points, lines, and polygons together into a topologically structured database. This is another illustration of the trade-off between the efforts expended when developing a database and additional storage costs versus costs and speed during analysis and retrieval.

•   对GIS专业来讲很有用
•   书后面的GIS 字典很给力
•   全英文，刚开始接触不习惯！
•   明老师出品！！！
•   这是我们明老师的书，顶是必须的
•   内容很好，体系不错，既然是GIS专业英语，包括了GIS和RS方面的基础知识，和相关热点问题讨论。但是可能字体或是印刷，感觉看起来眼睛不舒服，而且若是相应引用英文原文相关内容就会更好，这样就可以不受“中国式汉语”的影响了
•   拓宽知识面和专业知识领域，是GIS专业学生必须要看的书和教材。
•   专业GIS英语书不多，有中文对照就更好了
•   包装很好，保存也很完整。在卓越买书的确是一种享受。
•   是本好书，吸收了国外编者的一些方法，读起来不会觉得很难懂晦涩。另外这本书讲得很全面，适合本科生学生使用，但是英语的水平得要好一点！
•   这本书挺 适合我们用的、、质量也不错、
