DoCaG

Welcome to the Department of Cartography and Geomatics

The Department of Cartography and Geomatics was established on February 1, 2010. Its work involves research related to cartography, geomatics, topography, geodesy, and geomedia, as well as lectures in those fields. We run the engineering course "Geodesy and Cartography" and the MA course "Cartography and Geomatics" and the MA specialization "Cartography and Remote Sensing" in the field of "Geography".

We pursue several research directions. Our mainstream is the geomatic basis for acquiring and managing spatial data as part of the geomatic process. Another research direction is cartographic visualization and geovisualization of spatial accessibility and spatial behavior. This includes conducting user research to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and usability of various graphic and technological solutions. We also deal with animated cartography and the presentation of dynamic spatial-temporal data. In developing the principles of cartographic design, we make use of empirical research in the field of map perception. For this purpose, we use eye tracking devices and online surveys.

Another research trend is related to augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) and their application to the presentation of geographical space. As part of this trend, we research the possibility of implementing multi-resolution spatial databases to HMD immersive systems. The result is the creation of models of spatial behavior in virtual reality integrated with topographic mapping.

Regarding web cartography, our research concerns the effectiveness of interactive mapping services and responsive map design (RMD) in the HTML5 standard. We are also extending the usability of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) by examining the user experience with web maps. This translates into developing the principles of map design and human-map interaction, especially for mobile devices. We are also interested in cartography in computer games, in the context of symbols on maps in games, and designing a mini-map.

We also deal with the history of cartography, in particular with the issue of the development and evolution of cartographic principles. Interdisciplinary research is carried out in many of our projects: preattentive attributes of dynamic point symbols in the quantitative mapping (psychology); visualization of the European topographic space on multi-sheet handwritten maps from the 18th century (art history); a multimedia web service for the development of industrial centers since 1820 (cultural landscape) and geomedia (social communication and media studies).

Dear Colleagues,

We organized the Special Issue on Multimedia Cartography to be published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information – IJGI (ISSN 2220-9964, IF 2.899)(https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/special_issues/Multimedia_Cartography). We think you can see 15 papers by 27 researchers from 8 countries about Modern Cartographic Forms of Expression: The Renaissance of Multimedia Cartography.

This Special Issue on Multimedia Cartography highlights detailed research in specific research fields. However, the field of interest in multimedia cartography is much wider. Particularly noteworthy is the importance of the cartographic symbol and the map itself as the core of the multimedia visualization. The leading topic at present is the effectiveness of individual media in conveying information, in particular the effectiveness and efficiency of cartographic communication in multimedia presentation. In the context of changing technology, it is interesting to note the importance of new media such as VR, AR, holography and their significance for cartography. Among the research included in this Special Issue, one can also find questions about the place of maps in new technologies.

As the presented research shows, cartography plays a crucial role in the information communication process. The map is becoming an inseparable element of navigation in space, especially on mobile devices. In addition to the real world, it is part of virtual tours and allows finding specific locations in virtual space. Cartographers search for mapping methods that will be most useful and attractive for users by researching effectiveness, efficiency, and user experience implementing new research methods and technologies. Multimedia maps are used in education, storytelling, navigation, visualization and, above all, in everyday activities.
