<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Historical maps rich in historical information play an important role in fields such as tourism and history education. However, for ordinary people without knowledge of historical studies, it is difficult to understand inaccurate old maps that have not undergone surveying and to comprehend them in comparison with the current city townscape. Therefore, conventionally in GIS, a large number of corresponding points are prepared between an inaccurate historical map and an accurate map, the coordinates of the historical map are converted by forming a triangular mesh and conducting coordinate complement calculation, and the entire historical map image is re-represented by coordinate conversion. However, as shown in Figure 1, with this method there is a serious problem that causes distortion in the aesthetic appearance of the historical map, and remarkable impairment. It can be said that this problem has greatly damaged opportunities to use historical maps for tourism and historical education.</p><p>In this paper, we introduce our technology to solve this problem. Our technology has been implemented in the historical map viewer named Maplat, which is available at https://github.com/code4nara/Maplat as MIT-licensed open source.</p>

AbstractNext-generation sequencing has yielded a vast amount of cattle genomic data for the global characterization of population genetic diversity and the identification of regions of the genome under natural and artificial selection. However, efficient storage, querying and visualization of such large datasets remain challenging. Here, we developed a comprehensive Bovine Genome Variation Database (BGVD, http://animal.nwsuaf.edu.cn/BosVar) that provides six main functionalities: Gene Search, Variation Search, Genomic Signature Search, Genome Browser, Alignment Search Tools and the Genome Coordinate Conversion Tool. The BGVD contains information on genomic variations comprising ∼60.44 M SNPs, ∼6.86 M indels, 76,634 CNV regions and signatures of selective sweeps in 432 samples from modern cattle worldwide. Users can quickly retrieve distribution patterns of these variations for 54 cattle breeds through an interactive source of breed origin map using a given gene symbol or genomic region for any of the three versions of the bovine reference genomes (ARS-UCD1.2, UMD3.1.1, and Btau 5.0.1). Signals of selection are displayed as Manhattan plots and Genome Browser tracks. To further investigate and visualize the relationships between variants and signatures of selection, the Genome Browser integrates all variations, selection data and resources from NCBI, the UCSC Genome Browser and AnimalQTLdb. Collectively, all these features make the BGVD a useful archive for in-depth data mining and analyses of cattle biology and cattle breeding on a global scale.

In order to realize the intelligentization of the multi-DOF handling manipulator in the industrial field, this paper presents a motion path control approach which combines the vision based identification and localization and C-space (Configuration space) based obstacle avoidance planning. The objects in the image captured by CCD camera can be extracted by gray processing, background subtraction, binarization, and edge detecting, the work pieces and the obstacles can be matched based on roundness and squareness, and then the coordinates of above objects can be obtained by parallax and coordinate conversion. In addition, both the source and destination coordinates in C-space can be obtained by mapping these configurations position and orientation into C-space, and the motion path can be automatically generated by variable step A* search in free area which is built based on solid manipulator model, then the handling work can be finished and obstacle avoidance can also be realized. The results of simulation and experiment demonstrate the scientificalness and effectiveness of this control approach.

A mathematic model of aluminum extrusion process using body-fitted grids based finite volume method was studied and established in this paper. The basic goverment equations of the finite volume method were built, body-fitted grids were used to mesh computational region, basic goverment equations were discretized on body fitted grids directly, so complex coordinate conversion was avoided by no use of aptamer coordinate system. Initial conditions, boundary conditions and calculation processes of aluminum extrusion process finite volume method were studied and established, a program had been written based this model and a typical process of aluminum extrusion was simulated, amount of physical fields such as velocities, effective stress and effective strain rate etc. were obtained, the results were compared with that simulated by finite element method, so the feasibility and exactness of the mathematic model is proved.

Taking a certain history building as an example, we introduce a real 3D digital method for Large-Scale history building using 3D laser scanner and total station, and analyze the precision of coordinate conversion model and established 3D model. Firstly, the building are separated into many stations which are scanned separately in order to get the points cloud of each station, at the same time, the coordinates of targets and feature points of each station are obtained with laser scanner and total station respectively; next step, we convert the points cloud of every station with conversion program developed by Matlab so that the data are under the uniform reference frame with the collected homonymy targets; finally, the points cloud which have been registered are meshed in order to build real 3D digital history building model, meanwhile we analyze the precision of conversion model and the real 3D model. The result shows that this method is fast, efficient, and the prospective model has high precision.

At present the mostly used land alteration survey method of direct field surveying investigation has the shortcoming of the separation of internal and external operations. This paper puts forward an internal and external integration of land alteration survey modes of PDA + GPS + ArcPAD. On the basis of demand analysis and logical structure design, the paper puts forward a land alteration data structure for the storage of PDA, studies a development method for system implementation, and further explores the solution to the problem of coordinate conversion in the GPS collection. This study is helpful for the changing of the current alteration survey mode, improving work efficiency, and reducing the error caused by the separation of internal and external operations, etc.
