Ka-Map: an interactive web-mapping application

ka-Map ("ka" as in ka-boom!) is an open source project that is aimed at providing a javascript API for developing highly interactive web-mapping interfaces using features available in modern web browsers. ka-Map currently has a number of interesting features. It sports the usual array of user interface elements such as: interactive, continuous panning without reloading the page; keyboard navigation options (zooming, panning); zooming to pre-set scales; interactive scalebar, legend and keymap support; optional layer control on client side; server side tile caching

Sistema de geocodificación libre: Callejero Digital de Andalucía

La Junta de Andalucía dentro de su proyecto de Sistema de Información Geográfico Corporativo (SIGC), ha desarrollado un módulo de Callejero Digital de Andalucía (CDA) que recoge la información de direcciones de los 770 municipios de Andalucía. El Callejero Digital de Andalucía se articula en torno a los datos espaciales, una aplicación web de consulta, un motor de búsqueda (geocoder) y una serie de servicios OGC y SOAP. Todas los desarrollos están basados en software libre y pretenden convertirse en la herramienta corporativa para establecer la geoinformación asociada a registros y direcciones postales de la Junta de Andalucía.

Local map update for large scale SLAM

A technique for simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) for large scale scenarios is presented. This solution is based on the use of independent submaps of a limited size to map large areas. In addition, a global stochastic map, containing the links between adjacent submaps, is built. The information in both levels is corrected every time a loop is closed: local maps are updated with the information from overlapping maps, and the global stochastic map is optimised by means of constrained minimisation
