Features: Geographical information visualization system technology is an emerging science and technology that has developed in recent years. Traditional maps or electronic maps primarily present two-dimensional geographical information, while systems for expressing and processing multi-dimensional dynamic (time) geographical information beyond three dimensions have not yet emerged. The authors of this book attempt to establish a discipline system for the theory, technology, and application of contemporary cartography from the perspective of multi-dimensional dynamic geographical information visualization processing, based on a large number of existing research literature by scholars at home and abroad. Grounded in the theories of Earth system science and Earth information science, and combining the principles of traditional cartography and two-dimensional geographic information system technology, the book seeks to establish a discipline system for the theory, technology, and application of contemporary cartography. This book can serve as a reference for scientific and technical personnel in fields such as geology and geography, resource and environment, meteorological forecasting, national land consolidation, earthquake monitoring, map surveying, remote sensing and remote measurement, agriculture, forestry, water conservation, marine fishery, transportation, post and telecommunications, urban planning, engineering design, graphic imaging, information management, and science and technology education. It can also be used as a textbook for postgraduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant disciplines.
