Preparation of Electronic Images
Abstract
Video recording is a form and state of electronic image recording in which standard analogue television signals are recorded on a magnetic tape or disk. Cameras used for video recording of aerial images include: single-band, multi-band or multi-single-band cameras. These cameras can read visible wavelengths, ... Read MoreImpact of Geometric Factors on Film Exposure
Abstract
The images are formed through the change in the strength of brightness of the scene upon the film. At first glance, in aerial photography such changes are related only to the change in the type of the land feature. Of course, this hypothesis is an over-simplification of the issue, because there are many ... Read MoreCartography and the Internet - Part II
Abstract
Graphics such as maps, aerial photos and satellite images have become an integral part of the web. One of the reasons for this is reducing the cost of distribution and presentation, because putting color graphics on the web is much cheaper than color printing on paper. When we consider the extra shipping ... Read MoreCartography and the Internet - Part I
Abstract
Currently, there are many computer sites that make maps accessible to users all over the world. The main reasons for their increasing expansion are:• Reduction of cost (distribution of color graphics such as maps by computer sites costs far less than printing and distributing maps on paper)• ... Read MoreThematic Index of the Sepehr Journal
Abstract
Today there is rarely any applied science or branch of activity on earth that has no need to understanding the environment, geographic position and natural conditions and potentials. Geographic information is the most important decision-making tool in different activities on earth.The knowledge of mapping ... Read MoreAerial Photography Cameras
Abstract
Aerial photography can be carried out by any type of camera. Many of the utilized aerial photos are taken from a lightweight aircraft by thirty-five-mm cameras. Simplicity and low cost of taking photographs by thirty-five-mm cameras, especially for analyzing small areas, has made them an ideal sensor ... Read MoreAerial Images
Abstract
Photography is one of the main means of transmission of information and collection of geographic data with wide applications, and aerial photography and remote sensing are the most common ways of quick access to geographic information remotely. - Better understanding of land by viewing and interpreting ... Read MoreAnalytical Photogrammetry System
Abstract
It is now more than thirty years since the important parts of photogrammetry have been automated. One of the primary applications of photogrammetric automation is to digitize the data of the device's measurement system using the numerical stability system. In general, the coordinates of automatic drawings ... Read MoreGlobal Positioning System (GPS)
Abstract
Positioning based on satellite systems began in early 1961. GPS was evolved over time with the aim of supporting military navigation and fulfilling the need for quick and accurate positioning in the shortest possible time. Vast military needs led to continuous follow-up of spatial systems’ situation. ... Read MoreQuality in Geographic Information System
Abstract
The basis of decision-making and selection of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the quality of geographic information. Many executive centers of geographic information systems and their users usually seek application and utilization of more powerful computers with various abilities such as high ... Read MoreSurveying and Land Management
Abstract
Considering the fast growth of population and the following urban development and expansion, the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), during its permanent commission attended by a delegates of land management experts, has published a declaration concerning the importance of land management and ... Read MoreTransformation of Photography and Aerial Navigation Systems
Abstract
Aerial photography is one of the best methods of collecting geographic information which, considering its various applications, has been one of the most suitable tools for the valuable science of surveying over the past century. After the end of the World War II, aerial photography experienced remarkable ... Read MoreGeneralizing Geographical Data
Abstract
Currently, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are useful software packages in which many tools and models are as strange for users as a factory of robot assembly for a simple worker (Barrow, 1991). Unfamiliar terms limit GIS application and make users unaware of the fact that a set of data is the product ... Read MoreCartographic Modeling - Part II
Abstract
Among various complex modeling techniques that can be used in research, there is great difference between techniques considering “what is there?” or “what can be there?” and those dealing with “what should be there?”. This difference can be expressed through descriptive ... Read MoreCartographic Modeling - Part I
Abstract
Cartographic modeling is the general and customary method of geographical data analysis. What is used in cartographic modeling leads finally to certain algebraic relationships in which each one of effective factors in thematic combination of maps acts as a variable, and it is possible to change these ... Read MoreImage Digital Processing
Abstract
Most of satellite images are received in digital form and the logical way of dealing with them is digital processing. Human interprets images very well. However, our eyes have limitations in observing black-and-white pictures in a range of electromagnetic waves’ spectra through looking at colored ... Read MoreInformation Output Systems in Automatic Cartography
Abstract
In automatic cartography, information output systems constitute a very important part. Information technology and output methods always go through their evolution according to mapping goals, and the role of information output is such that contrary to classic cartography, it is not the end of mapping ... Read MoreAutomation in Cartography
Abstract
Computer can be programmed in order to draw maps at different graphic levels with the help of various output systems including printers, plotters and display systems. These automatic graphic machines share one attitude: they carry out whole or part of drawing with reliable speed and accuracy several ... Read MoreCreation of Database
Abstract
In order to process cartographic information, it is necessary to determine the topological structure of data so that database becomes intelligent and ready for analysis and transfer. After collection of various data, a database with consistent topological and geometric structure should be created. This ... Read MoreStatistical Analysis and Modeling
Abstract
Statistical analysis is an important tool for environmental planning, control and assessment. Most geographic information systems determine basic descriptive statistical indexes such as mode, mean, average, minimum/maximum and quantitative data of standard deviation, and describe characteristics that ...

Abstract
Among advanced inventions and techniques, preparation and production of maps has undergone wonderful changes and transformations more than any other field. Computer progress and development of maps has reached a level that currently microcomputer programs have made users able to design and make a variety ... Read MoreNote
Abstract
In the map and image printing process, several factors contribute to the reduction of accuracy and esthetic appeal. In fine print works, half-tone points have a diameter of about 0.2 millimeters; these points, like many small objects, undergo deformation and gain complexity on the big-world, human and ...

Abstract
In reproduction and printing of an image, it is not possible to create an image similar to the original one, and there is no need for it. In order to provide an acceptable image, what is necessary is a tonal display. In this operation, the eyes and brain assist to compensate for the difference in light ... Read MoreNote
Abstract
One of the important points in displaying the ground features on map is tone and tonal relationship. What sets up the provider-user connection in maps and conveys the message is a set of signs, symbols and colors. The signs and symbols of each map can be divided into real and virtual symbols, each ... Read MoreNote
