Považan, Juraj ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Buchar, Petr (referee)
Analysis of the map projection of world maprs in the 17th century Abstract Bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of map projections and the estimation of their parameters (i.e, the constant values of projections) of early maps from the 17th century. The aim of the thesis is to find and evaluate the most commonly used projections for the planisphere, hemispheres and large territories. The introduction is focused on the development of map projections throughout history and their general classification, together with the overview of specific projections well known within the 17th century. A general description of the projection analysis methodology that was practically implemented in the software detectproj, is presented. The research part includes a detailed description and summarization of the results of analysis of the selected maps divided into several categories (according to the extent of the mapped area). Finally, the projections used and their parameters across each category together with the short explanation are summarized. Keywords: analysis, map projection detection, history of cartography, cartographic projection, criteria, mathematical cartography, detection parameters, early maps.

Analysis of the vastness of castles and their depiction on early maps
Gottstein, Otomar ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čábelka, Miroslav (referee)
Analysis of the vastness of castles and their depiction on early maps Abstract The bachelor thesis is focused on the analysis of the vastness of the 21 biggest castles in the Czech Republic and their depiction on selected early maps of Bohemia and Moravia. For the purpose of analysis of the vastness there are defined geometric criteria in the thesis. These criteria take account of both the overall layout of the castle complex and the individual elements of the castle layout. All of these criteria are also applicable to all analysed castles. The analysis of vastness is realized with ArcGIS software; main source of data are geodetic plans from National Heritage Institute, additional data sources include Orthophoto CR and Digital Terrain Model 5th Generation. The numerical results of the partial criteria, presented in the results of the work, make it possible to determine the largest castle in our country or the castle with the biggest area according to individual elements of the castle layout. The analysis of depiction of castles on early maps is focused on the development of the cartographic symbol used for representation of these objects, the frequency of castles and used nomeclature in selected maps. Another part of this analysis is a cartometric analysis evaluating the accuracy of the depiction of...

Feature-based multi-resolution topography
Brůha, Lukáš ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Bodum, Lars (referee) ; Bandrova, Temenoujka (referee)
A three-dimensional (3D) representation of the topographic surface is an important element in planning, civil engineering and mapping. Many state-of-the-art representa- tions provided graphical, 3D model of entire planet. However, the existing solutions to 3D topographic surface lack the geometric flexibility and accuracy on boundaries with models of other geographic features. Most of the contemporary approaches to digital Earth solutions focus on the visualization performance. The high visual performance is achieved by the use of special data structures optimized for rendering. However, this optimization towards visualization hampers the data management of spatial data, their analysis and distribution. Therefore, the introduced solution reflects on multiple requirements of digital Earth systems. In addition to the visualization performance, the requirements regarding data interoperability, data management and distribution, data analysis and the multiple level of detail (LOD) are considered as essential for the design of the new solution. The topographic surface is central to the proposed method. It provides the defining surface in terms of which other features can be geographically referenced to. Therefore, this work introduces a new, more functional data representation of multi-resolution...

Analysis of extensiveness of the ruins in the Czech Republic
Šudová, Markéta ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čábelka, Miroslav (referee)
Analysis of extensiveness of the ruins in the Czech Republic Abstract This bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of extensiveness of 15 selected largest ruins in the Czech Republic by means of designed geometric criteria. The analysis of the current state (a ruin) and historical state (a castle) on the basis of a combination of several maps (Orthophoto CR, large-scale geodetic plans from the National Heritage Institute and drawings of ruins from historical publications) was carried out with the use of software ArcGIS. Based on these vector data, the basic criteria (total area, circumference and length of defensive walls) as well as complementary criteria (built-up area, core area, area of outer bailey, area of courtyard and area of barren soil) are analysed by which the extensiveness of a ruin is expressed. The evaluation of numerical results of individual criteria in relation to a current or historical state as well as the finding of the most extensive ruins based on these criteria represent outcome of the thesis. Keywords: analysis, castle, ruin, ArcMap, extensiveness, vastness, criteria, map, plan, cartography

The North America in Early Maps
Jílková, Petra ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Chrást, Josef (referee)
The North America in Early Maps Abstract The objective of this thesis is to analyze selected map works of European cartographers h showing the territory of North America in the period from 16. to 19. century. Using the cartometric and semiotic methods the map attributes are analyzed focusing the detection and description of the cartographic projection. Next, within the analysis of the topographic content the map symbols and the language of the map are discussed and interesting geographical mistakes of the authors are noticed. On the basis of the partial analyzes the progression of the continent depiction is documented with emphasis on the progression of map symbols and on the change of the shape of the continent in the given period. Key words: North America, cartometry, semiotics, European cartography, discovery, detectproj

DETECTING MAP SCALES OF EARLY MAPS
Churaň, Radek ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Veverka, Bohuslav (referee)
Detecting map scales of old maps Abstract This diploma thesis falls within its focus to the field of cartometric analysis. It deals with the issue of detecting a map scale from chosen large or middle-scale old maps without the influence of cartographic projection. The aim of the thesis is to analyze and compare different methods that are used for map scale detection. Direct methods which use direct measurement from a map field are examined as well as indirect methods which detect a map scale as one of the plane transformation parameter. Robust statistical methods named M-estimators are applied on indirect methods during the compensation process in the form of a weight matrix and are supposed to suppress the influence of remote measurements on the resulting value. Mathematical implementation of these methods is another content of this work. Keywords: map scale, robust statistics, old maps, cartometric analysis

Automatized map similarity analysis using shape invariants
Soukup, Matěj ; Bayer, Tomáš (advisor) ; Lysák, Jakub (referee)
Automatized Map Similarity Analysis Using Shape Invariants Abstract This diploma thesis is focused on using shape similarity measures for automatized map comparison. Maps can vary e.g. in the reference scale, coordinate system, rotation, degree of generalization, map content or accuracy of depiction of individual objects. The main part of the thesis deals with finding identical objects on both map layers and their matching using shape invariant turning function and other methods based on object location. These methods are tested on specific maps and compared with each other. The specific combination of methods is proposed and used for matching objects. After that the maps are compared to each other from several different perspectives. The proposed algorithm is implemented in Python programming language. Keywords: map similarity, shape similarity, similarity measures, turning function
