Peter Groves, pgroves@ Sunayana Saha, sunayana_saha@ Peter Bajcsy, pbajcsy@ Automated Learning Group National Center for Supercomputing Applications 605 East Springfield Avenue, Champaign, IL 61820 Boundary Information Storage, Retrieval, Georeferencing and Visualization Abstract We present an overview of a software system for storing, retrieving, georeferencing and visualizing boundary information obtained from Census 2000 Tiger/Line files, ESRI shape files or from image processing. Boundary information represents a vector data type as opposed to grid-based information denoted as a raster data type. In a Geospatial Information System (GIS) both data types are present. Vector data types are more memory efficient than raster data types for storing boundary information. However, internal organizations of vector data file formats pose a challenge to efficient information retrieval. In this work, we outline the efficiency issues related to boundary storage and boundary information retrieval. Furthermore, we describe several ways for boundary visualization including (1) boundaries alone, (2) boundaries overlaid on a geo-referenced raster data and (3) boundaries’ attributes. This paper also presents boundary processing extensions that are driven by GIS applications. Introduction There are two basic data structures used in Geo-spatial Information System (GIS). They are raster (or cellular) data and vector (or polygon) data structures [1, Chapter 15]. The need for memory efficient representations of a variety of types of GIS information drives the use of the two data structures in GIS applications. Examples of raster-based information would include terrain maps, land use maps, land cover maps and weather maps. Boundaries (or contours or outlines) of parcels, eco-regions, Census tracts or US postal zip codes would be examples of vector data. In this document we will focus on multiple representations of vector data and their file formats. There already exist numerous file fo
