Full textAbstract:
Theories of socio-cultural change regarding the transition from the Chalcolithic to the Bronze Age in Cyprus have since the nascence of prehistoric archaeology on the island been the subject of lively debate between archaeologists who argue for internal versus external evolution processes. Yet, despite all efforts, a coherent model explaining the evident material culture differences between the two epochs remains elusive, an indication that the current polarization of theories masks inherent complexities of the archaeological record. Moving beyond the internal/external dichotomy, the present thesis argues for one such explanatory model and approaches this notable transition from three distinct and less explored aspects, namely chronology, pottery analysis and topography. Starting with chronology, the thesis assesses previous chronological schemata, examines issues of methodology, performs an in-depth data quality analysis, and, on the basis of the creative dialogue between absolute and relative dating data, proposes a novel chronology for the island. This chronology transcends linearity by adopting cultural period overlaps and differential regional adoption of technologies. Moving to spatial matters, the study disentangles space-time systematics for sites dating from the Middle Chalcolithic to the Philia Phase. In effect, it establishes a ceramic typology for the Chalcolithic that is applicable to the entire island; clarifies and records in a custom-made recording system, dubbed CARMA (Cyprus ARchaeological MAterials Relational Database System), the research history and material assemblages of each site; situates sites in the physical landscape of Cyprus and performs socio-spatial analyses, where the results of pottery analysis are interwoven with the spatial relationships between sites. The last analysis provides positive evidence for cultural uniformity in the Middle Chalcolithic, for the emergence of regional cultures in the Late Chalcolithic and the abandonment of settlements at the beginning of the Philia Phase, and for the co-existence of spatially distinct cultures during the Philia Phase. Lastly, the results of the chronology and spatial studies inform the data synthesis in the final section, where a different narrative of socio-cultural change is developed. This argues for the emergence of divergences already in the Late Chalcolithic, for the co-existence and uneven bi-directional interaction of indigenous and foreign populations during the Philia Phase, and for the development of regionalism in the Early Bronze Age as a result of variable adoption of technologies, entanglement and resistance to cultural identity assimilation.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse traite de l'intégration de bases de données topographiques qui consiste à expliciter les relations de correspondance entre bases de données hétérogènes, de sorte à permettre leur utilisation conjointe. L'automatisation de ce processus d'intégration suppose celle de la détection des divers types d'hétérogénéité pouvant intervenir entre les bases de données topographiques à intégrer. Ceci suppose de disposer, pour chacune des bases à intégrer, de connaissances sur leurs contenus respectifs. Ainsi, l'objectif de cette thèse réside dans la formalisation, l'acquisition et l'exploitation des connaissances nécessaires pour la mise en œuvre d'un processus d'intégration virtuelle de bases de données géographiques vectorielles. Une première étape du processus d'intégration de bases de données topographiques consiste à apparier leurs schémas conceptuels. Pour ce faire, nous proposons de nous appuyer sur une source de connaissances particulière : les spécifications des bases de données topographiques. Celles-ci sont tout d'abord mises à profit pour la création d'une ontologie du domaine de la topographie. Cette ontologie est utilisée comme ontologie de support, dans le cadre d'une première approche d'appariement de schémas de bases de données topographiques, fondée sur des techniques d'appariement terminologiques et structurelles. Une seconde approche, inspirée des techniques d'appariement fondées sur la sémantique, met en œuvre cette ontologie pour la représentation des connaissances sur les règles de sélection et de représentation géométrique des entités géographiques issues des spécifications dans le langage OWL 2, et leur exploitation par un système de raisonnementThis PhD thesis deals with topographic databases integration. This process aims at facilitating the use of several heterogeneous databases by making the relationships between them explicit. To automatically achieve databases integration, several aspects of data heterogeneity must be detected and solved. Identifying heterogeneities between topographic databases implies comparing some knowledge about their respective contents. Therefore, we propose to formalise and acquire this knowledge and to use it for topographic databases integration. Our work focuses on the specific problem of topographic databases schema matching, as a first step in an integration application. To reach this goal, we propose to use a specific knowledge source, namely the databases specifications, which describe the data implementing rules. Firstly, they are used as the main resource for the knowledge acquisition process in an ontology learning application. As a first approach for schema matching, the domain ontology created from the texts of IGN's databases specifications is used as a background knowledge source in a schema matching application based on terminological and structural matching techniques. In a second approach, this ontology is used to support the representation, in the OWL 2 language, of topographic entities selection and geometry capture rules described in the databases specifications. This knowledge is then used by a reasoner in a semantic-based schema matching application

Abstract The Topographic in scale of 1:5000 to 1:50000 have been established positively since 1965 in Taiwan. In these years, the large scale topographic were essential because of the county governments developed the local constructions. And that the quality of topographic data affects the plan execution, policy decision and tactic results. So during the topographic building time slice, the topographic data quality of examination is vital. Depending on the above reasons, this study confer with the quality examination standard model for GIS topographic database and then the results can be treated as the basis of quality examination for GIS topographic database. First of all, this research concludes six elements that affect the quality of spatial database as follows: (1) database field format, (2) database completeness, (3) database logical consistency, (4) map-alignment inside database, (5) the relationship of map and attribute data inside database, (6) attribute data accuracy. This study takes the six elements as the basis to design the standard quality examination method for GIS topographic database. Next step of this study, considers the spatial characteristic of GIS database, accordingly the original data lie in spatial distribution. Therefore the density of the spatial data distribution is also a consideration. This study integrated the traditional sampling method and data distributive characteristic to choose the proper method for the examination of GIS topographic database. The numbers of exam samples are depending upon population distributive density percent in the Urban-Land-Use-Map. Finally, this research investigates at actual data samples to examine the data spatial accuracy and attribute correctness. This study used the ANOVA to discuss the difference among the 5%, 7%, and 10% samples, and the result is almost the same ( α＝0.05，confidence level ＝ 95％). This result shows that we can use the 5% samples to achieve the goal of quality examination for GIS topographic database.

Landslides, scree and other specific terrain objects in topographical databases and digital cartography Abstract Topographic maps capture detailed information about terrain. In traditional analogous way of creating these maps, understandable and illustrating cartographic symbology was used. However, certain spheres of symbology were modified with transition to digital topographic databases and digital cartography. Now they carry less information and are less illustrative. Main cause of this inaccuracy is imperfection of the cartographic software, which is unable to create appropriate symbology. This diploma thesis tries to solve aforesaid problem for some specific terrain objects as scree and landslides. These shapes are distinctive geomorphologic phenomenon in terrain, but they are often neglected as their occurrence in our territory is infrequent. Key words: topographic maps, digital cartography, scree, landslide, specific terrain object

Full textAbstract:
The Ice, Cloud, and land Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) is planned to launch in 2016 carrying the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS). ATLAS will be the first space-based photon-counting laser altimeter to be put into operation, and is tasked with observing the Earth’s ice sheets, sea ice, and vegetation.
The environment in which ATLAS will be operating is expected to introduce a significant amount of noise into the received signal; this necessitates that a set of onboard Receiver Algorithms be developed to reduce the data volume and data rate to acceptable levels while still transmitting the relevant ranging data. The algorithms make use of signal processing techniques, along with three databases, the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the Digital Relief Map (DRM), and the Surface Reference Mask (SRM), to find the signal and determine the appropriate dynamic range of vertical data surrounding the surface for downlink. The focus of this study is the development of the DEM and DRM databases.
A number of elevation data sets are examined for use as inputs for the databases. No global data sets of sufficient quality and resolution are available for the development of the project, so best-available regional elevation data sets were selected instead. Software was developed in MATLAB to produce the DEM and DRM data bases from the input data sets. A method for calculating relief from a gridded elevation data set along the flight path of a satellite was developed for the generation of relief maps used to create the DRM. Global DEM and DRM databases were produced by mosaicking individual DEM and DRM tiles from each input data set into global grids.
A technique was developed to determine the accuracy of the DRM by using ICESat ground elevations to evaluate the accuracy of an input elevation data set. By comparing values of DRM accuracy to values of DRM relief, estimates of DRM accuracy as a function of relief magnitude were determined and used to define values of DRM padding in the receiver algorithm.text

ABSTRACT Digital topographic maps contain large amount of geographic information which are widely used in GIS applications. In digital maps, graphical primitives are used to represent the spatial and non-spatial components of the real world phenomenon. In GIS, however, the operable data must be organized into objects. That is why restructuring is required before using the digital topographic maps in the GIS. Different GIS organizations repeat the same restructuring process which is a waste of resource. This thesis presents a methodology of building spatial database using large-scale digital topographic maps by restructuring the graphical primitives into geographic objects which are based on the OGC Simple Feature Specifications. An experimental system for restructuring has been developed to show the feasibility of this methodology. The result of our research shows that the effectiveness of restructuring is closely related to the map production and data collecting strategies. This thesis also proposes several suggestions, which are intended to achieve higher efficiency with minimum additional cost, by changing the data collecting process and criteria.
