"Google Faces - searching for faces on Google Maps using face recognition" more from vimeo.com vimeo face recognition google maps google earth video tutorial mapping GoogleFaces for generative design. Google Faces searching for faces on Google Maps, The way we perceive our environment is a complex procedure. By the help of our vision we are able to recognize friends within a huge crowd, approximate the speed of an oncoming car or simply admire a painting. One of human's most characteristic features is our desire to detect patterns. We use this ability to penetrate into the detailed secrets of nature. However we also tend to use this ability to enrich our imagination. Hence we recognize meaningful shapes in clouds or detect a great bear upon astrological observations. Objective investigations and subjective imagination collide to one inseparable process. The tendency to detect meaning in vague visual stimuli is a psychological phenomenon called Pareidolia, and captures the core interest of this project. video tutorial: http://vimeo.com/66055499# more from www.onformative.com generative design mapping google earth maps google earth google maps art Drawing web2.0 Creative Uses of Google Earth and Google Maps | Technology on GOOD Google Maps and Google Earth are pretty awesome on their own—you can see the whole world on your laptop in the comfort of your living room.

A metadata record is a file of information, usually presented as an XML document, which captures the basic characteristics of a data or information resource. It represents the who, what, when, where, why and how of the resource. Geospatial metadata commonly document geographic digital data such as Geographic Information System (GIS) files, geospatial databases, and earth imagery but can also be used to document geospatial resources including data catalogs, mapping applications, data models and related websites. Metadata records include core library catalog elements such as Title, Abstract, and Publication Data; geographic elements such as Geographic Extent and Projection Information; and database elements such as Attribute Label Definitions and Attribute Domain Values."

Geospatial topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geospatial_topology "Geospatial topology studies the rules concerning the relationships between the points, lines, and polygons that represent the features of a geographic region. For example, where two polygons represent adjacent counties, typical topological rules would require that the counties share a common boundary with no gaps and no overlaps. Similarly, it would be nonsense to allow two polygons representing lakes to overlap" Geocoding Service - Google Maps JavaScript API v3 — Google Developers https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding "Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA") into geographic coordinates (like latitude 37.423021 and longitude -122.083739), which you can use to place markers or position the map. Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into a human-readable address." Geocoding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocoding "Geocoding is the process of finding associated geographic coordinates (often expressed as latitude and longitude) from other geographic data, such as street addresses, or ZIP codes (postal codes). With geographic coordinates the features can be mapped and entered into Geographic Information Systems, or the coordinates can be embedded into media such as digital photographs via geotagging. Reverse geocoding is the opposite: finding an associated textual location such as a street address, from geographic coordinates. A geocoder is a piece of software or a (web) service that helps in this process."

Geometric Properties Preserved and Distorted | The Nature of Geographic Information https://www.e-education.psu.edu/natureofgeoinfo/c2_p29.html Geometric Properties Preserved and Distorted Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version Many types of map projections have been devised to suit particular purposes. No projection allows us to flatten the globe without distorting it, however. Distortion ellipses help us to visualize what type of distortion a map projection has caused, how much distortion occurred, and where it occurred. The ellipses show how imaginary circles on the globe are deformed as a result of a particular projection. If no distortion had occurred in the process of projecting the map shown below, all of the ellipses would be the same size, and circular in shape. When positions on the graticule are transformed to positions on a projected grid, four types of distortion can occur: distortion of sizes, angles, distances, and directions. Map projections that avoid one or more of these types of distortion are said to preserve certain properties of the globe.

Geographic information system - Wikipedia http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system Un Geographic information system (acronimo: GIS) è un sistema progettato per catturare, immagazzinare, manipolare, analizzare, gestire e rappresentare dati di tipo geografico. L'acronimo GIS è spesso usato per significare la scienza o gli studi sulle informazioni geografiche (dette anche geospaziali); gli studi sulle informazioni geospaziali si riferiscono a discipline accademiche o professioni che usano i GIS. In termini semplici, col GIS si possono unire cartografie, eseguire analisi statistiche e gestire i dati attraverso tecnologie database. La traduzione in italiano di GIS richiama il Sistema informativo territoriale e viene spesso usata erroneamente come sinonimo, ma per correttezza con GIS si individuano solo i software che sono sviluppati con questa logica.
