Development of Topographic Map Provision System Using Web

Construction of Marine Web GIS and Opening of Topographic Mapping Website

Abstract

Topographic mapping using a computer is not easy because it needs the knowledge of numerical data and high speed computer. We developed a 2D and 3D topographic map provision system using web, which applied the numeric data sets J-EGG500, GTOPO30, ETOPO2 and TerrainBase and used of three servers (Web Server, MATLAB Web Server and Application Server).
As a result, we can make a topographic mapping website that can make 2D, 3D mapping with a few parameters such as the latitude and longitude of the mapping area.
