In this paper, we present a knowledge-based object-oriented spatial database system called KOBOS. A knowledge-based approach is introduced to the object-oriented spatial database system for data modeling and approximate query answering. For handling the structure of spatial objects and the approximate spatial operators, we propose three levels of object-oriented data model: (1) a spatial shape model; (2) a spatial object model; (3) an internal description model. We use spatial type abstraction hierarchies(STAHs) to provide the range of the approximate spatial operators. We then propose SOQL, a spatial object-oriented query language. SOQL provides an integrated mechanism for the graphical display of spatial objects and the retrieval of spatial and aspatial objects. To support an efficient hybrid query evaluation, we use the top-down spatial query processing method.

This study compares the CEM and SGS methods which are geostatistical stochastic simulation methods for assessing the uncertainty by spatial variability in the estimation of the spatial distribution of probability rainfall. In the stochastic simulations using CEM and SGS, two methods show almost similar results for the reproduction of spatial correlation structure, the statistics (standard deviation, coefficient of variation, interquartile range, and range) of realizations as uncertainty measures, and the uncertainty distribution of basin mean rainfall. However, the CEM is superior to SGS in aspect of simulation efficiency.

Recently, R&D(Research and Development) is processing actively on range search in the road network environments. However, the existing representative range search techniques have shortcomings in that the greater the number of POI's, the more increased storage space or the more increased search time due to inefficient search process. Accordingly, In this paper, we proposed a range search technique using QRMP(QR-tree using Middle Point) to solve the problems of conventional range search techniques. In addition, we made a formula to obtain the total size of the storage space for QRMP and proved the excellence of the range search technique proposed in this paper through the experiment using actual road networks and POI data.

The present study examined the 3 dimensional space distribution characteristics of sea water intrusion using data available from previous observations. For this study, we used 3D FEMWATER, which is a 3 dimensional finite element model. The target area was around Daechang-ri, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do. The area is relatively easy to formulate a conceptual model and has observation wells in operation for surveying sea water intrusion. Considering the uncertainty of numerical simulation, we analyzed sensitivity to hydraulic conductivity, which has a relatively higher effect. According to the result of the analysis, the variation of TDS concentration had an error range of $-1,336{\~}+107 mg/{\iota}$. Taking note that the survey data from observation wells were collected when the boundary between fresh water and sea water in the aquifer was in equilibrium, we set the range of time for numerical simulation and estimated the spatial distribution of TDS concentration as the range of sea water intrusion. According to the result of estimation, the spatial distribution of TDS concentration calculated when 1,440 days were simulated was taken as the range of sea water intrusion. Using the result of calculation, we can draw not only vertical views for a certain section but also horizontal views of different depth. These views will be greatly helpful in understanding the spatial distribution of the range of sea water intrusion. In addition, the result of this study can be used rationally in proposing an optimal quantity of water pumping through investigating the moving route of sea water intrusion over time in order to prevent excessive water pumping and to maintain an optimal number of water pumping wells per interval.

In Regarding urban geo-spatial information visualization in this study, visualization of physical attribute information is mostly related to the representation of spatial domain and physical objects, and visualization of non-physical attribute information has to do with visualizing citizens and their activity information in the physical environment. In particular, a citizen, one of the non-physical information attributes, is characterized by a constant mobility in the physical environment, and thus visualization of his/her activity information is vital in conveying information because this information may not be depicted with any given, fixed figures. In consideration of this difficulty, this study integrates interrelationship among urban space, human needs, social relations, and lifestyles into a 'high-tech' service where experience in time and space is possible. To analyze the web-service and visualization cases, the study has selected visualization indicators consisting of information representation objective, information representation means, and information representation result. The results of the case analysis through specific indicators set a range in information representation objective, means, and result, thereby forming a user-friendly environment in which representational results are readily available to users, and ultimately expanding the users' selection range coming with a variety of options. This study also assumes that a wide range of service provision is needed to reflect users' needs in developing urban geo-spatial service model, and the display of its results should visualize users' satisfaction to construct the best information needed to users.

Real time fractal coding for successive QCIF 144*176 luminance images has been implemented on a 50MHz IBM 486 personal computer. To satisfy the frame encoding speed and data compression ratio, following algorithms are adopted. In order to minimize encoding time, extension SAS being not searching of domain blocks is used. for reducing the bits per pixel, conventioal 4*4 range block is extended to 8*8 range block. and range block extension decrease quality of decoded image. For improvement quality of decoded image, the paper apply quad-tree partition mothod. In order to divide **8 range block, self-simiarity is compared 8*8 range block with spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block. According to self-simiarity, the block is partitioned and owing to block partition, increased encoding time is minimized. According to self-simiarity of 8*8 range block and spatial contractive transformed 8*8 domain block, number of fractal factor is varied. Simultaneously with minimizing the decrement of decoded image's quality, transmittion rate and encoding time is shorted. The results enable us to process the real-time fractal coding. For the claire test image, the average PSNR was 32.4dB, 0.12 bit rates and 33ms coding time per frame.

In this paper, we present a spatial knowledge extractor implemented in Hadoop MapReduce parallel, distributed computing environment. From a large spatial dataset, this knowledge extractor automatically derives a qualitative spatial knowledge base, which consists of both topological and directional relations on pairs of two spatial objects. By using R-tree index and range queries over a distributed spatial data file on HDFS, the MapReduce-enabled spatial knowledge extractor, MRSPAKE, can produce a web-scale spatial knowledge base in highly efficient way. In experiments with the well-known open spatial dataset, Open Street Map (OSM), the proposed web-scale spatial knowledge extractor, MRSPAKE, showed high performance and scalability.

A lobby of a hotel is an important space by which the image of a hotel as a whole, the brand-identity, is determined. This study has researched and analyzed the special property in presentation of a landmark in a hotel lobby for its spatial factors, which affects visual cognition, and it is to provide information that can set out the foundation of space design for the appropriate landmark in a certain hotel lobby corresponding to the unique characteristics of a hotel. The regional range of this study includes the lobby spaces of 10 five-star hotels in Shanghai China and Seoul Korea. The types of spatial factors as landmarks and manifestation of those, which affect the visual cognition of the users are the range of context in this study. For this study, field-study and survey were both used in research. The results that have been concluded through this study are as follow. First, manifestational quality of a landmark in a hotel lobby is represented in its size, figure and contrast of 'shape', in its visibility and territory of 'space' and in its symbolic value and historical property of 'meaning', and each of those factors are related to the others. Secondly, the types of spatial factors in a landmark are displayed as being focused on the openness of the space or with large-scaled spatial factors. Light and lumination intensify the manifestation of various spatial factors in a landmark. Thirdly, each representational characteristic of spatial factors in a landmark, which are closely linked to each other should be controlled precisely in order to bring out functional and symbolic feature of a hotel lobby.
