Chen Shu · Developments In Surveying and Mapping · 2002
Grid mapping is to be thought as an effective tool for spatial analysis and spatial data mining in this paper. Grid mapping will obtain its new vitality and modern functions when integrated with remotely sensed pixel imagery, and data processing technologies such as quad tree and triangulated network. Especially, with the great opportunity of grid computing technology beginning to enter into Internet, grid mapping will be innovative and more prospective if they can inoculate one with another. As to the application field in digitized city, grid mapping will be an essential part in the construction of digital city and urban management information system if harmonizing with the gridization trend in urban planning and construction.
