将流媒体技术引入到以矢量数据为主的网络GIS传输中,其关键是建立逐级精细化的多层次表达模型,并在服务器端数据预组织上建立线性索引结构。本研究针对该目标建立一种矢量数据多重表达的新模型,即变化累积模型,认为尺度空间中从粗到细的数据表达过程是一些“变化”的累积,“变化”表现为两个连续尺度表达间的差别,通过“变化”元素的逐渐增加或减少来实现渐进传输。基于该模型对面状数据渐进式传输进行研究,将多边形分级剖分为一系列凸壳或外接矩形的基础上建立变化累积模型,通过剖分元素的组合完成渐进式流媒体传输。
The streaming transfer method which makes data immediately available application during the progress of transfer becomesa welcome transfer way over Web. The progressive transmission of map data provides the users with a self-adaptive strategy to access remote data. It not only speeds up the Web transfer but also offers an efficient navigation guide in information acquisition. The key technology in this transmission is the efficient multiple representation of spatial data and pre-organization on server site. This paper aims at vector data offering a new multiple representation model called changes accumulation model, which considers the spatial representation from one scale to another scale as an accumulation of set of changes. The difference between two consecutive representations is recorded in a linear index and through gradually addition or subtraction realizes the progressive transmission. As an example, the progressive transmission of area feature based on changes accumulation model is investigated in the paper. The model is built by hierarchical decomposition of polygon into series of convex hulls or bounding rectangles and through component of the decomposed elements to accomplish the progressive transmission.
