地图可视化的技术和分类

The technology and classification of map visualization

可视化技术已远远超出了传统的符号化及视觉变量表示法的水平,进入了在动态时空变换、多维可交互的地图条件下探索视觉效果和提高视觉工具功能化阶段。本文介绍了地图可视化的特点,分析了地图可视化的九项主要技术,在此基础上研究了目前可视化地图的三种分类,即动态地图、虚拟地图和超地图。由此了解到地图可视化在地图制图学中的重要地位和作用,随着网络技术、虚拟现实技术等各种技术的提高,地图可视化将得到进一步的发展。

This paper introduces the features of map visualization, and analyses nine major technologies of map visualization. On the basis of that, it researches three classes of visualization maps: dynamic map, virtual map and hyper map. Thus we can know that the significance and effect of map visualization in geo-graphics. With the development of network technology, virtual reality technology and so on, map visualization will get further development.
