Toponym Disambiguation (TD) in Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) systems is a crucial technique, which makes a direct impact on the quality of subsequent assignment of geographic focus to a document and that of establishment of spatial index as well as the effectiveness of the entire retrieval model as a whole. We explore the mechanism for human beings' dealing with the problem of TD. Human's...
3D Models have become important form of geographic data beyond conventional 2D geospatial data. Buildings are important marks for human to identify their environments, because they are close with human life, particularly in the urban areas. Geographic information can be expressed in a more intuitive and effective manner with architectural models being modeled and visualized in a virtual 3D environment...
Understanding the dynamics of the individuals' daily mobility patterns is very important in a wide range of fields. However, lacking of tools to monitor the time-resolved location of individuals makes this research consume both tremendous time and money in the past. Nowadays, the rapidly developing ability to collect space-time activity (STA) data through new information technologies such as cellular...
Geographical information becomes a kind of very important attribute for web documents, considering the fact that a large proportion of documents on the web contain geographical information. GIR (Geographical information retrieval) systems can identify those geographical information and extract the geographical focus in the documents automatically, hence supporting geo-related queries for information...
Spatial database has become the dominant techniques to manage spatial data in geographical information systems, and geographic structured query language (GSQL) is the key of spatial database design and implementation. At present, GSQL for vector data has been widely studied. However, when the raster data are considered, there is little specific research. On the basis of corresponding ADTs (abstract...
