Method of topographic inventarization and GPS technology in geospatial modeling

Abstract

By the use of digital cartographic visualization, a wide range of relevant data can be systematically integrated, presented and analyzed. In particular, this refers to the connection between thematic and topographic maps and their application in the study of the environment. The specific purpose of the map implies that in certain situations there is no clear difference between the thematic and topographic maps, that is, there is no clear boundary between the thematic and the topographic content of the representation. The paper points to the importance of modeling geoenvironmental data (topographic and thematic) for different scientific and practical research needs. Bearing in mind the global size of orienteering, the heterogeneity of the geoenvironment in which competitions and ways of orientation are organized, it is necessary to standardize this topic at the international level. The conducted experiment of cartographic modeling in the orienteering function has examined the possibilities of application of topographic inventory methods of geoenvironment for this purpose, the importance of using GPS devices for collecting geoenvironmental data and CAD software for cartographic visualization of the issues in question.

Digitalnom kartografskom vizuelizacijom širok spektar relevantnih podataka može se sistemski integrisati, predstaviti i analizirati. Posebno se to odnosi na vezu tematskih i topografskih karata i njihovu primenu pri izučavanju geoprostora. Specifična namena karte uslovljava da u određenim situacijama nema jasne razlike između tematske i topografske karte, odnosno, nema jasne granice između tematskog i topografskog sadržaja prikaza. U radu se ukazuje na značaj modelovanja geoprostornih podataka (topografskih i tematskih) za različite naučne i praktične potrebe istraživanja. Imajući u vidu globalne razmere orijentiringa, heterogenost geoprostora na kome se organizuju takmičenja i načine orijentisanja, neophodno je standardizovati ovu tematiku na međunarodnom nivou. Sprovedenim eksperimentom kartografskog modelovanja u funkciji orijentiringa, sagledane su mogućnosti primene metoda topografske inventarizacije geoprostora za ovu namenu, značaj korišćenja GPS uređaja za prikupljanje geoprostorih podataka i CAD softvera za kartografsku vizuelizaciju tretirane tematike.
