Interpretation of altitude on topographic maps of countries of the European Union
Řídká, Barbora ; Hanzl, Vlastimil (referee) ; Plánka, Ladislav (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is a discourse of the altitudinal component of topographic maps of the Member States of the European Union. The work is focused on the necessity of the system of altitude measurement and the reasons and methods of its representation in maps, explains the basic concepts, is engaged in the theory of the altitudes in general and presents the altitude systems. It discusses the historical and current methods of representation of the altitudes in maps in more detail and from a broader point of view. It is focused on the State map series of the Czech Republic and discusses the altitudinal systems of Europe, the countries of the European Union and the representation of the altitudes on topographic maps of these countries. Finally, it evaluates the comprehensibility and the clear arrangement of the methods used for the representation of altitudes in the available maps.

Interpretation of altitude on topographic maps USA
Pavelková, Zuzana ; Hanzl, Vlastimil (referee) ; Plánka, Ladislav (advisor)
The thesis aims to analyze the altitude interpretation of the topographic maps of the U.S. and to compare them with Czech topographic maps. I have obtained the source materials for completion of the thesis during the Work and Travel exchange program in the U.S. in 2012, which also inspired me to deal with this thesis topic. The most important producer of U.S. topographic maps is the national company United States Geological Survey, which uses the U.S. customary units based on the Anglo-American measurement system that make a significant difference when interpreting the altitude of U.S. topographic maps and Czech ones. The fact that American society does not use the metric system very much, results in the use of map scales that are unique and very unusual for topographic maps. Another important producer is the company Army Map Service. Since the U.S.A. and the Czech Republic are both member states of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the production of military topographic maps strictly adheres to the NATO standards.

Use of annotation scale for vectorization and generalization of topographic map in MicroStation
Krška, Jakub ; Andělová, Pavla (referee) ; Berková, Alena (advisor)
The MicroStation CONNECT Edition program is characterized by a complete change of the user environment, which the user can also create according to the specified requirements. The result of the work is the creation of a user environment (the ribbon) for drawing a topographic map. At the same time, the annotation scale is implemented for selected elements, its use facilitates the possible generelization of the map. At the end of the work, the created WorkSet is tested on the vectorization of a topographic map and its subsequent generalization.

Generalization of Road Network in Topographic Maps
Vojtíšková, Zuzana ; Lysák, Jakub (advisor) ; Jindrák, Přemysl (referee)
Generalization of Road Network in Topographic Map Abstract The diploma thesis presents automated selection of the elements of path network. The review deals with this term and describes its position in map generalization process; the ways of path thinning apllied in the main Czech cartography institutions are reviewed too. Next part of the thesis describes the data and the tools that are applied in the proposed method. The main part introduces the suggested method of selecting elements of path network which was implemented on the test data. Keywords: map generalization, path network, path thinning, graph theory, ZABAGED, ArcGIS, Python, NetworkX

Topographic mapping of rock formations with the use of airborne laser scanning data
Lysák, Jakub ; Potůčková, Markéta (advisor) ; Brázdil, Karel (referee) ; Šíma, Jiří (referee)
Abstract This thesis focuses on topographic mapping of rock formations with the use of new technologies in a comprehensive manner, from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data acquisition and processing in rocky terrains, followed by their processing to the content of topographic databases and their cartographic processing in maps. The introduction discusses issues of importance for practice, and the relation between topographic mapping of rocks and other fields of human activity. The ALS section describes products for topographic mapping of rocks derived from ALS data, and discusses the specifics of ALS data acquisition and processing in wooded rugged terrain. Existing solutions of this problem are explained and their limitations are identified. Author's own approaches to solving this task are presented as case studies, including three made a further three designed experiments with ALS data processing and evaluation of their results. Recommendation regarding mapping of sandstone landscapes in Czechia have been also addressed. The topographic section describes the current representation of rocks and related objects in the ZABAGED database (Czech national digital topographic database), explains the historical context, analyzes this data and identifies their shortcomings in relation to the ALS.
