Spatial Feature Classes
Geographical phenomena exist as spatial feature classes defined by natural physical and human‐constructed geographical entities, human cognition, and a combination of these. Throughout history, geography has sought to define sets of geographical entities that have meaning to human discourse. There has been a rapid proliferation of methods of developing concepts of spatial feature classes as science and technology have progressed. The definition o…
Preparing The National Map for the 3D Elevation Program – products, process and research
The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is a collaborative effort among government entities, academia, and the private sector to collect high-resolution 3-dimensional data over the United States. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is making preparations for managing, processing, and delivering petabytes of 3DEP elevation products for the Nation. In addition to the existing 1/3, 1, and 2 arc-second seamless elevation data layers of The National Ma…
Implications of Web Mercator and Its Use in Online Mapping
Online interactive maps have become a popular means of communicating with spatial data. In most online mapping systems, Web Mercator has become the dominant projection. While the Mercator projection has a long history of discussion about its inappropriateness for general-purpose mapping, particularly at the global scale, and seems to have been virtually phased out for general-purpose global-scale print maps, it has seen a resurgence in popularity…

A Prototype Feature System for Feature Retrieval Using Relationships
Using a feature data model, geographic phenomena can be represented effectively by integrating space, theme, and time. This paper extends and implements a feature data model that supports query and visualization of geographic features using their non-spatial and temporal relationships. A prototype feature-oriented geographic information system (FOGIS) is then developed and storage of features named Feature Database is designed. Buildings from the…
Using Geometrical, Textural, and Contextual Information of Land Parcels for Classification of Detailed Urban Land Use
Detailed urban land use data are important to government officials, researchers, and businesspeople for a variety of purposes. This article presents an approach to classifying detailed urban land use based on geometrical, textural, and contextual information of land parcels. An area of 6 by 14 km in Austin, Texas, with land parcel boundaries delineated by the Travis Central Appraisal District of Travis County, Texas, is tested for the approach. W…

Projecting Global Datasets to Achieve Equal Areas
Scientists routinely accomplish global modeling in the raster domain, but recent research has indicated that the transformation of large areas through map projection equations leads to errors. This research attempts to gauge the extent of map projection and resampling effects on the tabulation of categorical areas by comparing the results of three datasets for seven common projections. The datasets, Global Land Cover, Holdridge Life Zones, and Gl…
