Book excerpt: Computers tend to be very good at repetition and very bad at interpretation. People, on the other hand, are poor at repetition, because we can get bored or distracted. We are, however, excellent at interpretation, if we have the proper information. Basic GIS Coordinates is about providing some of the critical information needed to understand coordinate systems and effectively interpret GIS technology. GIS is emerging in all facets of business and government at an incredible rate; GIS and mapping professionals must have a clear understanding of coordinate systems. Basic GIS Coordinates explains how coordinates tie the real world to its electronic image in the computer. It is about understanding how these systems work, and how they sometimes don't work. It examines how points that are expected to be in one location are in reality somewhere completely different, even when the computer has done everything exactly as it was told. Basic GIS Coordinates explains the progression of ideas that are the foundation of coordinate systems without overwhelming you with supporting mathematics. It is a user-friendly study for those who need to apply GIS technology and resulting coordinates. From the basics of coordinate systems to specific practical examples, this book covers GIS coordinates without pages of complicated math; yet it is not oversimplified. This volume analyzes state plane coordinates, UTM coordinates, and the rectangular system in a concise format. To help you apply the information, each chapter concludes with review questions and answers.

Download or read book Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics written by Kai Hormann and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics, eminent computer graphics and computational mechanics researchers provide a state-of-the-art overview of generalized barycentric coordinates. Commonly used in cutting-edge applications such as mesh parametrization, image warping, mesh deformation, and finite as well as boundary element methods, the theory of barycentric coordinates is also fundamental for use in animation and in simulating the deformation of solid continua. Generalized Barycentric Coordinates is divided into three sections, with five chapters each, covering the theoretical background, as well as their use in computer graphics and computational mechanics. A vivid 16-page insert helps illustrating the stunning applications of this fascinating research area. Key Features: Provides an overview of the many different types of barycentric coordinates and their properties. Discusses diverse applications of barycentric coordinates in computer graphics and computational mechanics. The first book-length treatment on this topic

Download or read book Parallel Coordinates written by Alfred Inselberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-15 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one book that can genuinely be said to be straight from the horse’s mouth. Written by the originator of the technique, it examines parallel coordinates as the leading methodology for multidimensional visualization. Starting from geometric foundations, this is the first systematic and rigorous exposition of the methodology's mathematical and algorithmic components. It covers, among many others, the visualization of multidimensional lines, minimum distances, planes, hyperplanes, and clusters of "near" planes. The last chapter explains in a non-technical way the methodology's application to visual and automatic data mining. The principles of the latter, along with guidelines, strategies and algorithms are illustrated in detail on real high-dimensional datasets.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flux Coordinates and Magnetic Field Structure gives a systematic and rigorous presentation of the mathematical framework and principles underlying the description of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. After a brief treatment of vector algebra in curvilinear coordinate systems the book introduces concepts such as flux surfaces, rotational transforms, and magnetic differential equations. The various specific types of coordinate system are dealt with in detail. Researchers and advanced students in plasma physics, electromagnetics, and mathematical physics will greatly benefit from this useful guide and reference book.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new method is presented by which equations of motion of a linear mechanical system can be derived in terms of independent coordinates when the system is described in terms of coordinates which are not independent but instead are governed by linear homogeneous equations of constraint. There is a discussion of the origin in practical vibrations analysis of dynamical systems involving equations of constraint. Methods previously used for handling such systems are discussed and the new method is demonstrated to have the following advantages: (1) For the most general constraint equations, solution of the equations is reduced in substance to computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric matrix; and (2) the method is applicable when there are redundancies in the equations of constraint.
