Two invited talks: excellent presentations Topic 1 : Photographing the World Ground UP  Google street view project  How did they took the pictures  Techniques used to postprocess the pictures, e.g. identify people faces and blur them  New robotic vehicle developed  Expend Google street view around the world 8ACM GIS 2010

Topic 2: Designing Maps to Help people Presenter webpage: maps designed to help users find their way from one location to another aid viewers in better understanding the spatial layout of 3D environments, assist tourists in finding points of interest in a new city (hand made maps) 9ACM GIS 2010

Selected interesting papers: Detecting Nearly Duplicated Records in Location Datasets:  Similarity functions for words, addresses and category Tolerance Geometry-Euclid’s first Postulate for Points and Lines with extension  2D trajectory Optimal and Topologically Safe Simplification of Building Footprints  Simplify sets of building footprints represented as polygons by selecting a subsequence of its original edges; 10ACM GIS 2010

Measuring Consistency with Respect to Topological Dependency Constraints  Measures to evaluate the degree of violation of a topological dependency constraint by geometries stored in a spatial database instance. An Algorithmic Framework for Segmenting Trajectories based on Spatio-Temporal Criteria  Partition a trajectory into a (typically small) number of pieces, called segments.  To obtain segments where movement characteristics inside each segment are uniform in some sense. 11ACM GIS 2010
