About Us / Cedar Grove Institute
Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities grew out of the work we were doing in our for-profit company, McMillan and Moss Research, Inc. We found that our investigative skills, demographic and landuse expertise, and use of geographic information systems (GIS) were being called for in cases involving civil rights, predatory lending and fighting institutionalized discrimination. While we found we were drawn to this kind of work and attorneys realized the value of what we had to offer, other funders could not hire us through our for-profit company. In order to pursue our new mission, we formed CGISC in 2000.

David Rumsey Historical Map Collection | Two Dimensional GIS Browser
This is a special GIS (Geographic Information System) Browser that allows integration and interaction of historical maps with current geospatial data and other historical maps. Examination of the maps in GIS reveals changes in the history of the areas shown on the maps.
Eleven historical maps of the San Francisco Bay area from 1851 to 1926, eighteen historical maps of the Boston area from 1776 thru 1897, over thirty historical maps covering the area of the 1804 - 1806 Lewis and Clark Expedition, 35 maps of Washington D.C., and 32 maps of New York City are now available for viewing in the GIS Browser. Additional historic maps of U.S. cities and regions will be added in the near future including Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Yosemite Valley, and Lake Tahoe. The current geospatial data that can be overlaid and compared to the historical maps includes roads, lakes, vparks, state boundaries, digital orthophotos (aerial photography), topographic mapsheets, digital elevation models and satellite imagery. Many of these maps may also be viewed in our Google Earth viewer.

oakland crime maps XI: how close, and how bad? (tecznotes)
Did you know that Oakland Crimespotting is still kicking hard, with hundreds of alert subscribers and a smooth, regular flow of timely data from the Oakland Police Department? The project has essentially been on auto-pilot since we re-launched it back in March, but holiday side projects have been a favorite activity of mine for years, so this time I'm thinking about the relatively short time horizon Crimespotting offers.

Viewing Large Images - OpenLayers, GSIV, ModestMaps, DeepZoom, and Python « Itinerant Source
One problem unlike all the other tools mentioned here, which have python based tile cutting implementations, Deep Zoom was utilizing a Windows only based program to process images and cut tiles. I had a couple of hundred gigabytes of images to cut, and not a windows system in sight. But based on this excellent blog write up by Daniel Gasiencia, I constructed a python program using PIL that can be used as a command line tool or library for constructing Deep Zoom Compatible image pyramids. It can be found here, hopefully its useful to others. As a bonus, it runs in a fraction of the memory (1/6 by my measurements) needed by the GSIV image tile cutter and faster as well ( 100 images in 5m vs 1.25hr). Unfortunately the Seadragon Ajax Library is not opensource, but non commercial usage seems to be okay with the license, and i’ll give it over to some lawyers to figure it out.

Why mobile phones are the new travel guides -Times Online
Wikitude is the culmination of five years’ work for its Austrian designer, Philipp Breuss, who calls the system “augmented reality”. It’s built to run on Google’s new Android operating system for mobiles - and the first phone to have that is the just-released T-Mobile G1, which uses GPS and triangulation to know exactly where it is and which way it’s facing.

Charles Apple » Blog Archive » My free-lance Electoral College project
And it hit me: There’s this big election graphic I’ve drawn three times over the past eight years. It shows who’s projected to win the electoral votes in each state — basically, aggregating info I dug up from various media web sites around the country. I’ve been showing the graphic for years in my slideshows. Occasionally, editors have told me they’d love to run something like that but the time it would take for their staff to research and build the page seems daunting.

Manifest Density - coloring your opinion
The colors themselves are also a problem. As I'm sure you all remember keenly from this post I wrote in 2006, perceptual image codecs spend more bits on brightness than on color because the color-sensing cones in your eyes have a much lousier dynamic range than the light-sensing rods. We're worse at distinguishing between levels of color than between levels of brightness. And since the percentage of the vote in any given spot on the map should always sum to 100, with negligible green (third party) contributions, the brightness will be relatively uniform (although admittedly not quite due to the perceptual differences between colors — monitor calibration and colorspace begins to enter the picture here, and is just as hideously complex as you might imagine).

ScapeToad - cartogram software by the Choros laboratory
Most 2D-maps are used to represent topographic metrics: distances and areas measured on the map (multiplied by the map scale) give traveling distances and land surfaces. In some cases, this information is irrelevant or even misleading [see an example]. As a cartographer, you may wish to use map metrics to represent other data, such as human populations or amounts of produced resources. This is what ScapeToad is for.

Has anyone ever given you a large list of addresses and asked you to throw them on a map? It seems like I have been doing a lot of this lately. Here's a way to do it quickly using Microsoft Access, Google Earth, and ESRI's ArcMap. You could easily stop at plotting them in Google Earth, however I am taking it a step further to plot them in ArcMap because that's where I needed them.

Frequently asked questions
The cartograms were made using the diffusion method of Gastner and Newman. ..population to diffuse in the two-dimensional space of the map, carrying the boundaries of the states or counties with it, until it reaches a uniform equilibrium. The diffusion equation is integrated in Fourier space, where it takes a particularly simple form: the initial density function is evaluated on a 4608x3072 lattice, transformed using a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform, convolved with a Gaussian kernel and then back-transformed to give the diffusion field at a later time. I used closed (Neumann) boundary conditions at the edges of the map, so the Fourier transform is a discrete cosine transform.

The diffusion field is then used to calculate the diffusion velocity as a function of position and the velocity integrated over time to give the displacement of the map features. The integration is performed using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integrator with an adaptive step size and local extrapolation

From Greece to Rome: Building a Roman Perseus
A great deal of work remains to be done on Roman Perseus but the outlines of a coherent digital library are now beginning to emerge. Language stands at the heart of any database of cultural materials – culture and language are so inextricably interwoven that any system that sets out to represent a distinct culture must help its users work with its particular language (or languages). But if language is the essential starting point, we also need multimedia materials to document the physical context as well. Such visual materials can include not only still-images but sound, video, and emerging tools for virtual tours or 3D representations of objects. Finally, a system faithful to the needs of the domain must integrate the various elements together. A simple web site where users can search for images and texts constitutes only a first step in this direction.

Rayle, Roger
Roger Rayle really likes Google Earth. Before Google Earth came along, he spent tens of hours every few months creating two-dimensional depictions of new well sampling data for a local groundwater cleanup which he has been monitoring as a citizen volunteer for over fourteen years. Now with the basic version of Google Earth, in a couple of hours, he can generate a quarterly updated, four-dimensional plot showing the location of over 16,000 pollution samples taken since 1986. A bar whose height represents the concentration of the contaminant is shown at the exact X-Y longitude/latitude for each sample location with the fourth dimension being date sampled. The result viewed on Google Earth gives a clear indication of which ways the contamination plumes are moving, how fast, and at what concentrations.

BBC NEWS | UK | Online maps 'wiping out history'
She said: "Corporate cartographers are demolishing thousands of years of history - not to mention Britain's remarkable geography - at a stroke by not including them on maps which millions of us now use every day. "We're in real danger of losing what makes maps so unique, giving us a feel for a place even if we've never been there." Projects such as Open Street Map, through which thousands of Britons have contributed their local knowledge to map pubs, landmarks and even post boxes online, are the first step in the fight back against "corporate blankwash", she added.
