Abstract

In mobile GIS environments, a client needs to receive the isogram data with a topographical map from a server, if the mobile client wants to display map with elevation information. Because the elevation data size is normally quite large, the client will suffer some problems to receive the elevation data from server. The main reason is a resource limitation of the mobile devices. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes new data structures and algorithms. They are designed for efficient transmission of contour data to a client. Because of the contour data are generated as a vector style from elevation information stored at a server, the proposed algorithms are focused to minimize the transmission data volume and time.
