CSNB mapping presents a new approach to visualization that produces maps markedly different from those produced by conventional cartographic methods. .In this approach, any body can be represented by a 3D coordinate system. For a regular body, with its surface relatively smooth on the scale of its size, locations of features can be represented by definite geographic grid (latitude and longitude) and elevation, or deviation from the triaxial ellipsoid defined surface. A continuous surface on this body can be segmented, its distinctive regional terranes enclosed, and their inter-relationships defined, by using selected morphologically identifiable relief features (e.g., continental divides, plate boundaries, river or current systems). In this way, regions of distinction on a large, essentially spherical body can be mapp | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | 3D Modeling Techniques; Automating Processing of Modeling; CSNB Maps; Cartographic Projections; Comparat | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-7762-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-7761-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-7762-4Series ISSN 2191-9100 Series E-ISSN 2191-9119 | issn_series | 2191-9100 | copyright | The Author(s) 2013 |
