The paper
generalizes results of research into the field of diverse spatial data integration and
the modern technological approaches to making cartographic products.
The 3-D computer
simulation terrain model has become in the broad sense a part of the Earth sciences research and is used everywhere in such applied
fields as ecology, land cadastre, navigation, in the development of large
town-planning designs. In addition,
three-dimensional cartographic visualization is more often applied to exploratory projects, making it
possible through numerical methods to comprehensively examine a situation
related to a particular object or phenomenon.
Integration of spatial data, based on the up-to-date development level of
computer engineering and software is to an increasing extent being introduced
into technological processes of map production. There are considered scientific
and methodological approaches to and peculiarities of the relief models use with different resolutions, from remote
sensing data (Landsat, Spot, MODIS),
artificial natural textures, as well as multilingual place-names databases in
doing cartographical products. The potential of spatial information synthesis is illustrated with realized
cartographic projects.
The given direction
of work is of great practical value and in complete conformity with the purpose
of the International program Electronic
Earth.
