Fourcade: the Centenary of a Stereoscopic Method of Photographic Surveying     

Laurence P. Adams 《The Photogrammetric Record》2001,17(98):225-242

In the Preface to his book, The Four Faces of Fourcade, Clare Storrar (1990) wrote: "It is di.cult to appreciate the breadth and depth of Henry Georges Fourcade's intelligence and creative power. He was an intellectual giant, a phenomenon, whose theoretical and practical achievements have never received proper recognition. These were all the more remarkable because he began his original work on photogrammetry when science in South Africa was in its infancy, and he laboured alone far from libraries and other research facilities. His only higher academic training was in land surveying. He was adept in each of four sciences at various stages in his life, but, mainly because of his natural reserve, his reputation was highly compartmentalised. To foresters he was 'the most brilliant forestry officer of his time' to surveyors, he was exceptionally learned in theory and skilled in practice. Photogrammetry was a new subject, unheard of, except by a handful of scientists. In botany, which he took up seriously at the age of fifty-five, his work was highly regarded by leading botanists in South Africa and in Europe. All stood in awe of his extraordinary talent and ability. Some were frightened of him. But few were able—in fact, not even the best brains were wholly qualified—to grasp fully the tremendous intellectual stature and potential of this protean man."
This paper briefly describes the historic achievements of Henry Georges Fourcade, with the emphasis on his land surveying and, in particular, his photogrammetric contributions to science. The centenary of one of these, his proposal of a stereoscopic method of photographic surveying, occurs in October 2001.  相似文献   

Thematic mapping from remotely sensed data with neural networks: MLP, RBF and PNN based approaches     

Giles M. Foody 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2001,3(3):217-232

 Neural networks are attractive tools for the derivation of thematic maps from remotely sensed data. Most attention has focused on the multilayer perceptron (MLP) network but other network types are available and have different properties that may sometimes be more appropriate for some applications. Here a MLP, radial basis function (RBF) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) were used to classify remotely sensed data of an agricultural site. The accuracy of these classifications ranged from 86.25–91.25%. The accuracy of the PNN classification could be increased through the incorporation of prior probabilities of class membership but the accuracy of each classification could also be degraded by the presence of an untrained class. Post-classification analyses, however, could be used to identify potentially misclassified cases, including those belonging to an untrained class, to increase accuracy. The effect of the post-classification analysis on the accuracy of the classification derived from each of the three network types investigated differed and it is suggested that network type be selected carefully to meet the requirements of the application in-hand.

远区重力数据对扰动位径向二阶梯度的影响     

赵东明  吴晓平 《测绘学院学报》2001,18(1):16-19

提出了利用地面重力异常数据计算地面扰动位径向二阶梯度时，远距离带区影响的误差公式，结果以级数形式给出，以其数学模型为基础，利用全球重力位模型GPM98，计算确定了不同平均异常网格大小情况下截断半径取一系列值时的远区影响，在将卫星重力梯度和航空重力梯度观测数据与地面重力数据进行联合处理时，文中提出了远区影响的数量关系，对于确定合理的截断半径大小具有一定的参考价值。  相似文献

The development of an intervening opportunities model with spatial dominance effects     

Siaw Akwawua  James A. Pooler 《Journal of Geographical Systems》2001,3(1):69-86

In this paper an intervening opportunities model with spatial dominance is developed. The usual assumption in spatial theory is that decision makers are influenced not just by the size of a destination or distance but by these two factors in combination, that is, spatial dominance. Decision-makers will have more knowledge about, and clearly perceive destinations that exert the greatest amount of spatial dominance on their origins, just as they would primate cities. Thus destinations are ranked in terms of the spatial dominance calculated for each destination. Empirical verification of the model utilizes state-to-state migration flow data for the US. Calibration results compare favourably with the traditional intervening opportunities model and the production constrained gravity model. Received: 7 October 1999/Accepted: 15 June 2000  相似文献   

基于逻辑斯蒂模型的遥感图像分类   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

逻辑斯蒂法是一种非线性的回归分析方法,因采用逻辑斯蒂模型而得名^[1],可用来进行未知单元类别属性的预测和判定。不同于一般的分类方法,它可分别给出某一单元属于各已知类别的概率,进而对研究的未知区中所有单元进行分类和预测。本文首先阐述了该方法的基本原理,而后利用它对内蒙古自治区两个研究区的两种图像数据进行了分类,最后探讨了影响该方法用于遥感图像分类的几个因素.  相似文献
