A comparison of iterative methods of the cubic rate convergence in the problem of transformation between Cartesian and geodetic coordinates
(2014) Bajorek, Maciej; Kulczycki, Marek; Ligas, Marcin
The problem of transformation between Cartesian and geodetic (ellipsoidal) coordinates occurs often in day-to-day geodetic practice. Thus, from years it attracts interest of many scientists and practitioners. Despite the fact that many algorithms of the conversion exist to this day one may still observe new methods and approaches to the problem. In this work a comparison as to the efficiency of iterative methods of the cubic rate convergence to the solution of 'latitude equation' in three representations has been presented. Two of them are polynomial representations (quartic equations) and one is in the form of an irrational equation. A comparison has been performed on two ellipsoidal height intervals: from -10 km to 10 km, from 10 km to 36 000 km and from 0° to 90° for the latitude.
Classification of building structures of mining plants with regard to calculating property tax
(2014) Firek, Karol; Oruba, Rajmund; Wodyński, Aleksander
Classification of building structures located in mining plants with regard to calculating property tax meets with difficulties arising from the imprecise and inconsistent legislation. As a consequence, significant discrepancies in the calculation of the tax due arise, resulting in numerous lawsuits and additional high costs. In the case of assets of mining plants, this particularly refers to mine workings and objects located under the surface of the ground. The article presents the legal basis and the criteria for the classification of objects located in mining plants, with regard to an analysis in the legal, construction and process engineering aspects.
Support for create 3D computer graphics images in GIS systems using externals renders algorithm
(2014) Ilba, Mateusz
An analyses of 2D and 3D GIS systems need an appropriate presentation of the results work. Should be presented in three-dimensional graphics environment. Nowadays, more and more attention is given to highlighting the analyzed problem and aesthetic form of presentations. The paper will be present possibilities of presenting the results of 3D analysis in the form of generated 2D images. We will discuss these possibilities for example advanced ArcGIS program work with a typical CAD graphics program Cinema4D. Programs were selected in respect of the best functionality and extended functions imaging of three-dimensional models. During the preparation of this article was tested GIS application GRASS and Geomatica. They are support visualization of 3D data but have worse functionality of the selected program. Program Cinema4D was recognized the best typical CAD program from available AutoCAD, Maya, Microstation, 3ds Max, Blender. Compared to other available applications, the differences are slight. They differ in the user interface. A method of generating images and rendering algorithms in all cases are based on the same principle. The aim of the discussion is to decide whether a typical graphics program may help, in the visualization process, powerful analytical tool which is the application of ArcGIS.
Examination of the capabilities of some models of hand GPS receivers for purposes of creation of thematic maps
(2014) Mika, Monika
W zależności od przeznaczenia odbiorniki GPS można sklasyfikować jako: nawigacyjne (które cechuje mała dokładność, rzędu 2-5 m, z włączonym WASS / EGNOS), geodezyjne (o dokładnościach centymetrowych) oraz specjalne (dokładność poniżej centymetra). Wraz ze wzrostem dokładności takiego odbiornika rośnie jego cena oraz wachlarz zastosowań. Tematyka podjęta w artykule dotyczy najtańszej i najmniej dokładnej grupy odbiorników GPS, które służą głównie do celów nawigacyjnych lub uproszczonych opracowań GIS. Mają one jednak szereg przydatnych funkcji, w związku z czym mogą być wykorzystywane w geodezji do zadań związanych z pozyskiwaniem danych na potrzeby aktualizacji, a nawet tworzenia warstw tematycznych nowoczesnych map. Celem opracowania jest omówienie w tym kontekście trzech typów odbiorników ręcznych GPS: GPSmap 76, GPSmap 62st (firmy Garmin) oraz GPS Nautiz x7 (firmy Handheld) wraz z przykładami ich zastosowań.
Determination of optimal spatial databases for the area of Poland to the calculation of air pollutant dispersion using the CALMET / CALPUFF model
(2014) Oleniacz, Robert; Rzeszutek, Mateusz
This paper presents a methodology for the preparation of three-dimensional spatial data and land use data for the purpose of modeling pollutant dispersion in the ambient air using a group of geophysical preprocessors of the CALMET / CALPUFF modeling system and the GIS software. Some space information data sources available to Poland were specified and their characteristics and availability were discussed. Particular attention was turned to the SRTM3 and GTOPO30 elevation data as well as the CLC2006 and GLCC land use data, for the preparation of computational grids of different resolutions. Groups of programs which can be used in order to form computational grids based on the above-mentioned databases were identified. The discussed spatial data preparation procedure was used for the area of the city of Krakow and the surrounding area. As a result of the conducted activities, processed information on the terrain in the adopted computational area, possible to be used in the calculation of a three-dimensional meteorological grid (CALMET) and in the calculation of pollutant dispersion in the ambient air (CALPUFF) was obtained.
