TLDR
In the present discussion a system is proposed for the equivalent processing of general resolution elements (resells), instead of the homogeneous picture elements (pixels) which are found in image processing systems.Abstract:
There now exist several microcomputer processing systems which incorporate algorithms and display techniques appropriate for the class of objects known as images Zooming, histogram equalization, contrast stretching, ratioing, edge enhancement, and filtering are common options used in these systems In the present discussion a system is proposed for the equivalent processing of general resolution elements (resells), instead of the homogeneous picture elements (pixels) which are found in image processing systems The resel processing system requires a new, generalized, repertoire of processing algorithms and a high resolution display A summary is provided of the facilities and procedures required, a computational metaphor using computer spreadsheets is described, and the applicability to censels (census data elements) and to medical data is suggestedread more

iCity: A GIS-CA modelling tool for urban planning and decision making
TL;DR: The proposed tool, named iCity - Irregular City, extends the traditional formalization of cellular automata to include an irregular spatial structure, asynchronous urban growth, and a high spatio-temporal resolution to aid in spatial decision making for urban planning.

Geographically Weighted Visualization: Interactive Graphics for Scale-Varying Exploratory Analysis
Jason Dykes,Chris Brunsdon +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the geowigs proposed here provide informative representations of multivariate local variation, particularly when combined with interactions that coordinate views and result in gw-shading, and are widely applicable to area and point-based geographic data.

Simulating urban growth under planning policies through parcel-based cellular automata ParCA model
TL;DR: A parcel-based cellular automata (ParCA) model is presented for simulating urban growth under planning policies and the obtained results indicated the high ability of ParCA model in allocating various land-uses to parcels in the appropriateness of the layout of different land- uses.

The Use of the Landscape Metaphor in Understanding Population Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider how viewing population distribution as a landscape can aid our understanding of urban morphology and process and propose two methods to overcome this problem, namely local and focal transformations.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the four conceptual models can provide direct mappings from users' concepts to data objects, whereas functions at the task and semantical levels appear to fit well into users' models for procedure knowledge.

Smooth Pycnophylactic Interpolation for Geographical Regions
TL;DR: It is suggested that the procedure may be used to convert observations from one bureaucratic partitioning of a geographical area to another, using finite difference methods with classical boundary conditions.

A Monte Carlo Approach to Diffusion
TL;DR: The nebula-like cluster is a common trait in the spatial picture of man's attributes and one particular process which creates this type of distribution seems to be highly significant: diffusion of techniques and ideas through the network of social contacts.
