Raster-based stacked surfaces depict the surface of each buried geologic unit, and can accommodate data on lateral variations of physical properties. In this example from Soller and others (1999), [32] the upper surface of each buried geologic unit was represented in raster format as an ArcInfo Grid file. The middle grid is the uppermost ...
English: Part a shows a rectilinear grid in the horizontal plane. Part b shows a curvilinear grid in the horizontal plane. Part c shows a z-level grid structure in the vertical plane. Part d shows a s-level grid structure in the vertical plane. This figure is taken from Delandmeter and van Sebille 2019 (Delandmeter, P. and van Sebille, E.:
The "globe", in the DGG concept, has no strict semantics, but in geodesy a so-called "grid reference system" is a grid that divides space with precise positions relative to a datum, that is an approximated a "standard model of the Geoid". So, in the role of Geoid, the "globe" covered by a DGG can be any of the following objects:
The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats (e.g. shapefile), and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
Because a grid is a sample of a continuous space, raster data is most commonly used to represent geographic fields, in which a property varies continuously or discretely over space. Common examples include remote sensing imagery, terrain/elevation , population density , weather and climate , soil properties , and many others.
Manifold System is a geographic information system (GIS) software package developed by Manifold Software Limited that runs on Microsoft Windows.Manifold System handles both vector and raster data, includes spatial SQL, a built-in Internet Map Server (IMS), and other general GIS features.
An Esri grid is a raster GIS file format developed by Esri, which has two formats: A proprietary binary format, also known as an ARC/INFO GRID, ARC GRID and many other variations; A non-proprietary ASCII format, also known as an ARC/INFO ASCII GRID; The formats were introduced for ARC/INFO.
Quadtrees are a specialised form of grid in which the resolution of the grid is varied according to the nature and complexity of the data to be fitted, across the 2-d space. Polar grids utilize the polar coordinate system, using circles of a prescribed radius that are divided into sectors of a certain angle. Coordinates are given as the radius ...
