Cartograms
•Instead of normalizing data within polygons:
•We can change the polygons themselves!
•Maps that do this are known as cartograms
•Cartograms distort the size and shape of polygons to portray sizes proportional to some quantity other than physical area

Challenges of cartogram mapping
• Recognition
the displayed data the original geographical model
Shape
Orientation
Contiguity
• No commercial software available

3D Applications (selected examples)
• Digital urban
• Geological/geophysical exploration
• 3D processes such as ocean currents or lava flows
![Page 19: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Two kinds of volumetric phenomena
• 2.5-D phenomena have a single z value for each x and y location.
• True 3-D phenomena have multiple z values for each X and Y location.
![Page 20: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Challenges in 3-D mapping
• Data source
Land cover
Houses – location, height, shape, size
Roads
DEM
• The limitations of software
![Page 21: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Approach: integrated use of multiple data sources
1. 2D ground plans
2. Z value from remote sensing?• Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)• High spatial-resolution image
3. Use local height data to extrude the building footprints detailed on high-resolution map

Algorithm design:
• Identify shadow (shadow vs. water)
• Measure shadow size, orientation, and shape
• Calculate building height

Software considerations
• Create your own 3D symbols– Building– Vegetation– people
• 2.5-D vs. 3D
![Page 32: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Internet Map/GIS Applications1. Location Services2. Routing and Direction services
1 and 2 are often combined together. Examples are:
www.mapblast.com - recently become a part of Microsoft
www.mapquest.com
www.yahoo.com/map
Target of these services – general public for their daily life.
3. Public notification – government can publish their spatial data using Internet map services.
![Page 33: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Internet Map/GIS Applications(Cont.)
Example – Nuclear Waste Shipment Routes Map on Internet
http://www.state.nv.us/nucwaste/states/us.htm
4. Database query – Many public agencies are opening their databases to the public. The city of Ontario, CA, has set up an application that allows people to query the city’s parcel tax database for a specific owner or tax ID number and get a map of the parcel along with a detailed tax history of that subject. You can find similar examples in many counties and cities’ websites.

Examples of Internet Mapping Applications
Location Services
(1) Static Internet Maps – no interaction
Examples: Campus Map, Location maps for hotels, . Only permanent map is needed.
Stored as GIF or JPEG images.
UNC Campus Map (GIF format):

Structure of Static Map Service
Software Requirement:
HTML Editors. Anyone who can edit a html document can create a static map service. Sometime Javescript/Vbscript may be required to handle the update (like weather maps – they are static for a certain period.)
![Page 37: Thematic Mapping Techniques Yang Shao University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649f115503460f94c241e5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Examples of Internet Mapping Applications (Cont.)
(2) Interactive Location Service
As previously mentioned, mapquest, mapblast, google earth, virtual earth, and yahoo map service, etc, all provide interactive location service on Internet. These services generally target people who want to locate a place by an address (similar to geo-coding in ArcView.) or a place name. Many Internet users are using them. Users can also customize a map and print them out. Features of these services:
-Customizable
-Usually maps can be displayed in multiple pre-defined scales
-Format of maps: JPG, GIF, etc., all compressed raster formats.
-Maps can downloaded and printed, but only in a very limited size (no more than 740*800 for mapblast)
-Also provide routing/directional service

Google Earth VS Virtual Earth
• Google Earth combines satellite imagery, maps and other popular geographic data. Internet users could use it to explore interested places, plan a trip, create 3D maps, etc.
http://earth.google.com/products.html
http://maps.google.com/
• Provides directions, interactive maps, and satellite/aerial imagery of the United States. Can also search by keyword such as type of business.
