Precise Geological Mapping as a New Method for Analyzing Surface Faults
Abstract
In order to evaluate the potential for earthquake surface fracture, a new application of highly accurate geological mapping with total electronic station is presented. This method makes it possible to detect secondary faults, which represent 30-cm-long vertical displacement that does not appear on the ...

Read MoreMap With Variable Scale (1) on Small Cartograms
Abstract
This research is devoted to the development of methods for presenting instant geographical and positional information on personal computers for moving users, specially users who need to carry a comprehensive map with them to find the main paths they need. On the other hand, the user needs a small scale ... Read MoreGeosciences in the Pursuit of Information Technology (introduction to spatial analysis ) Part I
Abstract
The spatial pattern is of great importance for the Earth sciences. The spatial pattern enables us to compare the observational characteristics of phenomena and to clarify their spatial relationship, correlation and distribution in terms of geological conditions and processes that have shaped them. Digital ... Read MoreModels and Search in a Spatial-Temporal GIS
Abstract
Recently, a tendency toward the combined implementation of space-time information on extended spatial bases has emerged. In geographic information systems and other sciences, studies are conducted in different fields of space-time display and argumentation. Creating a Temporal Geographic Information ... Read MoreRemote Geographic Information Control and Process
Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to determine the characteristics of remote processing and control systems of geographic information. The processing of geographical information is the product of GIS and telecommunications. Remote geographic information processing is a completely new approach designated ... Read MoreAn Introduction to Geographic Information System (GIS) at the National Level
Abstract
Information systems have been created for certain purposes, so they must first fulfil specific mission and tasks, and then be able to support real affairs. In this paper, we will attempt to propose reasons to support the notion that GIS should not be considered as an exception among information systems, ... Read MoreAccess to Comparative Examination of Geographic Information in Electronic Space
Abstract
In this paper, we use the Theory of Information Sciences and its application in the World Wide Web (WWW) in order to study the ways of access to geographic information. The two main information retrieval systems include data and information retrieval. A data retrieval system includes retrieval models, ... Read MoreInverse Numerical Transmission in Map Image Systems
Abstract
In cartography, mapping systems are used to transfer geographic coordinates to planar coordinate network. This method is called "forward transmission". In many applications, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), maps are digitized using digitizers. Therefore, the data collected are integrated ... Read MoreSepehr's Achievement
Abstract
Many of sciences undergo constant transformation through connection with modern technology and make progress, and are provided with equipment of great value through ease in the methods and fast fulfilment of necessities. The science of cartography, under the influence of modern technology (positioning ... Read MoreCartography and Automation
Abstract
How is the relationship between automation and cartography? What is the effect of automation on cartography? What is the achievement of automation in cartography? Each of the human sciences has, through connection with modern technology, made great achievements in terms of ease of use, speed, application, ... Read MoreCartography and the Internet (Part V)
Abstract
In order to describe the generalization process for classes of selective phenomena, we describe the sequence and probable order and determine which operators and generalization algorithms will be used. The generalization operator specifies the type of "generalization" conversion that must be applied, ... Read MoreCartography and the Internet: Part IV
Abstract
This paper describes map’s generalization according to different needs of users by using a multi-scale database. The base of such production is the analysis of the maps’ requirements according to users’ demands, and indicates various needs and limitations of the cartography demanded ... Read MoreCartography, GIS and the World Wide Web
Abstract
Based on initial architecture, the World Wide Web is a collection of human knowledge that allows users to exchange ideas and suggestions among distant places. Cartography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are in the early stages of development, considering the characteristics of spatial and geographical ... Read MoreRemote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (RS & GIS) (Part IV)
Abstract
Geographic information can be digitized in vector format and processed and transformed by satellite data (visual information) in a raster environment. Such systems are beneficial, but it should be noted that multiple transformations of vector and raster data will be carried out losing accuracy and at ... Read MoreRemote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (RS & GIS) Part III
Abstract
The conversion of satellite data into vector formats requires classification and interpretation of low-level information while maintaining accuracy of measurement and spatial detail; on the other hand rasterizing a map (which is consistent with satellite data) means decomposition and degradation of high-level ... Read MoreGeomatic Engineering and Geographical Sciences
Abstract
Geomatic Engineering and sciences include activities that involve obtaining (receiving, collecting, deducing and utilizing), processing (networking, scaling, computing, topological structure and simulation), analysis, display (topography, two-dimensional, three dimensional and animation display) and ... Read MoreDocumentation of Cartographic Sources (Part II)
Abstract
Innovations in technology take place when new methods replace current techniques. The initial stage is usually limited to something that can be called "modernization." It may take some time before the next step is implemented and results of new applications are evaluated and understood. It may take a ...
