Sensitivity of a stochastic land-cover change model to pixel versus polygonal land units

Land-use/cover change (LUCC) projections can be generated by a variety of land-cover change models (LCMs) and applied to a range of ecological and environmental studies. Most existing spatially explicit LCMs represent land use or cover using either pixel or polygon/patch spatial units. However, the effects of the choice to use pixel versus polygonal land units on the outputs from any given model have not yet been systematically assessed. We evaluated the impacts of alternative land units on the performance of a LCM. A stochastic LCM based on a geostatistical algorithm was developed and applied using both pixel and polygons, which were derived from parcel maps. Nine possible parcel-change scenarios were generated to evaluate the effects of geometric change in management boundaries. The approach was tested through the simulation of multiple land-cover transitions in Medina County, Ohio, between 1992 and 2011. Performance of the simulations was assessed using a metric for the accuracy of spatial allocations (figure of merit (FoM)) and several landscape pattern metrics describing the shapes and sizes of resulting land-cover patches. Results support the notion that there is a clear trade-off between pixel and polygon land units: using polygon boundaries is helpful in obtaining more realistic spatial patterns, but at the cost of location accuracy. Significant differences were found among different parcel-change scenarios on both location accuracy and spatial patterns, with the primary effects being dependent on the type of land-cover transition and the resolution at which validation was assessed.  相似文献   

线对象的惯性函数描述与三角剖分方法     

吴明光  郑培蓓  闾国年 《测绘学报》2016,45(3):372-378

现有线对象三角剖分算法没有顾及线对象的整体结构特征,导致三角剖分质量不高,难以支持大数据量的矢量制图和高更新率的动态制图。本文提出线对象的惯性函数,设计了一种线对象的单调分解与三角剖分方法。惯性函数的单调递增区间作为线对象的渐变区间,连续剖分为一个优化的三角形条带;惯性函数的单调递减区间作为线对象的突变区间,离散剖分为一个优化的三角形扇。试验表明:本文方法三角剖分的顶点、三角形、图元的个数均优于基于顶点和基于线段的三角剖分方法,能够显著提升线对象的绘制效率。本文方法也适用于封闭线型、宽度渐变线型与光滑线型。  相似文献

对角线是解决GTP模型平面剖切时产生空洞现象而引入的辅助构模元素。该文在分析GTP组成要素及对角线作用的基础上,提出了一种对角线的引入方法——最小顶点标识(SVID)法;并基于QuaPA编码原理论述了GTP顶点ID的编码步骤,给出了GTP模型引入对角线后在地质体三维平面剖切显示中的应用。  相似文献

冰脊对极地船舶及海洋工程结构的冰载荷设计及冰区安全运行具有重要的影响,其几何形态是重要的考虑因素。为研究冰脊的几何形态,本文基于Voronoi切割算法构造扩展多面体海冰单元,并使其相互冻结形成平整冰;采用离散单元法模拟海冰在相对运动时挤压形成冰脊的动力过程,统计分析脊帆高度、龙骨宽度、龙骨深度、龙骨水平倾角等主要几何参数,并确定这些几何参数间的对应关系。将离散元模拟结果同冰脊现场观测资料对比分析以验证扩展多面体离散元方法模拟冰脊形成过程的可行性。在此基础上讨论冰厚、冰速、海冰强度等因素对冰脊形态的影响。本文采用离散元方法对冰脊形成过程及几何特性的数值分析可为深入开展冰脊的形成机理及其对船舶、海洋工程结构物的冰载荷分析提供参考依据。  相似文献
