A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...
In HTML and XHTML, an image map is a list of coordinates relating to a specific image, created in order to hyperlink areas of the image to different destinations (as opposed to a normal image link, in which the entire area of the image links to a single destination). For example, a map of the world may have each country hyperlinked to further ...
This is an emerging method for delivering styled web maps, combining certain benefits of pre-rendered raster map tiles with vector map data. As with the widely used raster tiled web maps, map data is requested by a client as a set of "tiles" corresponding to square areas of land of a pre-defined size and location. Unlike raster tiled web maps ...
Image rectification in GIS converts images to a standard map coordinate system. This is done by matching ground control points (GCP) in the mapping system to points in the image. These GCPs calculate necessary image transforms. [11] Primary difficulties in the process occur when the accuracy of the map points are not well known
UVW mapping is a mathematical technique for coordinate mapping. [1] In computer graphics , it most commonly maps an object's surface in R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} to a solid texture with UVW coordinates in R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} , in contrast to UV mapping , which maps surfaces in R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} to ...

Image registration or image alignment algorithms can be classified into intensity-based and feature-based. [3] One of the images is referred to as the moving or source and the others are referred to as the target, fixed or sensed images. Image registration involves spatially transforming the source/moving image(s) to align with the target image.
