Journal ArticleDOI
Using IT approaches to promote public participation in renewable energy planning: Prospects and challenges
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on integrated approaches that involve the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques in facilitating public participation using the case study of the planning of wind farms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Database design for a multi-scale spatial information system
TL;DR: The GEODYSSEY conceptual design for a multi-scale, multiple representation spatial database is presented and the results of experimental implementation of several aspects of the design are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-order interpolation of regular grid digital elevation models
TL;DR: The hypothesis presented here, is that higher-order interpolation techniques will always be more accurate than the popular bilinear algorithm, and this hypothesis is evaluated through an assessment of the accuracy with which DEMs can be interpolated to higher spatial resolutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy and reliability of map-matched GPS coordinates: the dependence on terrain model resolution and interpolation algorithm
TL;DR: The use of map matching and height aiding is described, and the effect of different terrain resolutions (Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 and 1:10,000 scale DTMs) on plan position and elevation accuracy for vehicle tracking is examined, and a higher-order interpolant is shown to slightly improve performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and prediction of GPS availability with digital photogrammetry and LiDAR
TL;DR: An automated method for predicting the number of satellites visible to a GPS receiver, at any point on the Earth's surface at any time, is described and the results are reported.
