This paper presents a method which enables raster maps to be used like vector maps in the wed environment and develops a raster map viewer which can be executed in the wed browser. Through the preprocessing process the coordinates attached to each object in the raster map can be used as vector information. The raster map viewer makes the spatial analysis possible using the attribute database connected to the coordinates of each object, This map viewer makes the Web GIS can be constructed at the lower cost because the viewer uses the characteristics of raster map. And the map viewer has merit point of easily developing a component for spatial analysis.

Currently, many geographic information systems deal with only vector data. Therefore, handling raster data for various types of information is greatly needed. In this paper, we design and implement a raster processor which handles spatial information in a spatial object management system called Object Management system for Geospatial Application (OMEGA). We define the data structure of the raster information to be stored in the spatial object management system and implement it to a class library in order for use in making an application program. Furthermore, a query operation and related module is implemented to extract raster information. They are then imbedded in the query executer to process a query of the raster information. Simulation results are given.

A multilayer gaseous detector has been developed for fast dose-verification measurements of raster-scan-mode therapeutic beams in particle therapy. The detector, which was constructed with eight thin parallel-plate ionization chambers (PPICs) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) absorber plates, is closely tissue-equivalent in a beam's eye view. The gas-electron signals, collected on the strips and pad arrays of each PPIC, were amplified and processed with a continuous charge.integration mode. The detector was tested with 190-MeV raster-scan-mode beams that were provided by the Proton Therapy Facility at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea. The detector responses of the PPICs for a 190-MeV raster-scan-mode proton beam agreed well with the dose data, measured using a 2D ionization chamber array (Octavius model, PTW). Furthermore, in this study it was confirmed that the detector simultaneously tracked the doses induced at the PPICs by the fast-oscillating beam, with a scanning speed of 2 m s-1. Thus, it is anticipated that the present detector, composed of thin PPICs and operating in charge.integration mode, will allow medical scientists to perform reliable fast dose-verification measurements for typical dynamic mode therapeutic beams.

Although scanners are much more expensive than other input devices expect for some low quality devices, raster scanner and vectorizing softwares have been used and will be used as a means for the data entry in GIS. In this study, the accuracy of raster data and vectorizing in data entry by scanning technology, the coverage generation are investigated. As a result, the deterioration of spatial resolution can be improved by using the histogram analysis and the line enhancement when we scan a map at a lower dpi. It is to be desired that a raster scanner dpi is selected 150 dpi or 200 dpi among five densities (75 dpi, 150, dpi, 200 dpi, 300 dpi, 400 dpi) in view of the storage of raster data and the RMSE of coverage generation. Also, it was very important role of the choice of trace parameters to trace raster data in the vectorizing procedure.

People tend to spend more time in indoor spaces than before such as shopping malls and subway stations. As buildings become larger and more complex, people feel difficulty in finding their ways to destinations. Consequently, a means to provide better paths can aid people in reducing time for finding ways. Routing information in large indoor spaces is especially required in emergency cases as fire, power failure and terror. This study suggests to compute optimal paths using $A^*$ algorithm based on raster GIS data structure. The suggested method can be used either in daily lives for path provision or in emergency cases for evacuation, and is illustrated on a campus building.

There are two approaches to construct mobile GIS, Vector and Raster methods, according to the map data transformation format from server to mobile client. Each method requires a different implementation architecture of server and client modules for mobile map services. And each have advantages and disadvantages at the different aspects. This thesis implements these two approaches, thus, compares the each merits, by experiments. They include the transmission performance, map quality, and so on.

With the increasing demand of processing massive geographic data, conventional GISs based on the single processor architecture appear to be problematic. Especially, performing complex GIS operations on the massive geographic data is very time consuming and even impossible. This is due to the processor speed development does not keep up with the data volume to be processed. In the field of GIS, this PC clustering is one of the emerging technology for handling massive geographic data effectively. In this study, a MPI(Message Passing Interface)-based parallel processing approach was conducted to implement the existing raster GIS operations that typically requires massive geographic data sets in order to improve the processing capabilities and performance. Specially for this research, four types of raster CIS operations that Tomlin(1990) has introduced for systematic analysis of raster GIS operation. A data decomposition method was designed and implemented for selected raster GIS operations.

Recently many efforts on the development of automatic processing system for delivery sequence sorting have been performed in ETRI, which requires the use of postal4-state bar code system to encode delivery points. The 4-state bar code called postal 4-state barcode for high speed processing that has been specifically designed for information processing of logistics and automatic processing of he mail items. The Information of 4-state bar code indicates mail data such as post code, delivery sequence number, error correction code worked, customer information, and a unique ID. This appear addresses the issue on he reduction of reading error in postal 4-state raster beam based bar code reader. The raster beam scanning features are the unequally distributed number of spots per each unit, which cause reading errors. We propose a method for reducing the bar code reading error by adjusting measured values of bar code width to its average value over each interval. The test results show that the above method reduces the average reading error rate approximately by 99.88%.

The past researches on flood inundation simulation mainly focused on development of numerical models based on unstructured mesh networks to improve model performances. However, despite the accurate simulation results, such models are not suitable for real-time flood inundation forecasting due to a huge computational burden in terms of geographic data processing. In addition, even though various types of vector and raster data are available to be compatible with flood inundation models for post-processes such as flood hazard mapping and flood inundation risk analysis, the unstructured mesh-based models are not effective to fully use such information due to data incommensurability. Therefore, this study aims to develop a raster-based two-dimensional inundation model; it guarantees computational efficiency because of direct application of DEM for flood inundation modeling and also has a good compatibility with various types of raster data, compared to a commercial model such as FLUMEN. We applied the model to simulate the BaekSan levee break in the Nam river during a flood period from August 10 to 13, 2002. The simulation results showed a good agreement with the field-surveyed inundation area and were also very similar with results from the FLUMEN. Moreover, the model provided physically-acceptable velocity vectors with respect to inundating and returning flows due to the difference of water level between channel and lowland.
