The five research hotspots in cartography are intelligent map production and application, spatial data mining and visualization, geographic information system development and application, remote sensing technology application and spatial information acquisition, virtual reality and augmented reality in cartography.

1, intelligent map production and application

Intelligent map production and application is a current research hotspot in the field of cartography. With the development of big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, intelligent map production and application has been widely used. Intelligent maps can automate the processing of map data and intelligently analyze map information, which improves the production efficiency and application value of maps.

2, spatial data mining and visualization

Spatial data mining and visualization is a technology that converts spatial data into useful information and knowledge. Through spatial data mining and visualization, map information can be mined in depth, revealing its inherent laws and characteristics, and providing a scientific basis for decision-making.

3, geographic information system (GIS) development and application

GIS is one of the core technologies of cartography, and is also an important research hotspot in the field of cartography.GIS can realize the collection, storage, processing and analysis of geographic information, and provide decision-making support in the fields of urban planning, resource management and environmental protection.

4, the application of remote sensing technology and spatial information acquisition

Remote sensing technology is one of the important means of obtaining spatial information, but also an important research hotspot in the field of cartography. Through remote sensing technology, information on the earth's surface can be obtained quickly and accurately, providing data support for the field of resource investigation and environmental monitoring.

5. Application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in Cartography

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are emerging technologies, and their application in the field of cartography has become a current research hotspot.

VR and AR technologies can realize immersive and interactive map experience, and improve the effect of the use of maps and the scope of application.

Status quo and future development of intelligent cartography

1. Status quo aspects

Intelligent cartography has been applied to many fields such as transportation planning, logistics management, urban planning and so on. Through big data analysis and artificial intelligence algorithms, intelligent maps are able to automate the processing of map data, provide real-time traffic road conditions, logistics and transportation information, and provide a scientific basis for decision makers.

2. Future Development

Intelligent cartography will further integrate the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and other technologies to realize more intelligent and refined map production and application. By collecting various environmental data through IoT devices and combining cloud computing and artificial intelligence technologies, more accurate and detailed maps can be produced, and real-time updates and intelligent analysis can be realized. Provide more powerful support for the development of human society.
