Property

Description

Class

  • <DRM Spatial Index Related Features>

Superclass

Subclass

  • None.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies an aggregation of <DRM Feature Hierarchy> objects in which each <DRM Feature Hierarchy> component represents a different tile within a spatially indexed (tiled) organization of <DRM Primitive Feature> objects within a transmittal. The <DRM Spatial Index Data> link object corresponding to each component A <DRM Feature Hierarchy> instance indicates which tile it represents.

This DRM class exists to allow <DRM Feature Representation> objects to be organized (tiled) according to some regular spatial index.

If the value of the sparse field is FALSE, all column and row entries are present; otherwise one or more entries are not present.

The column_count field specifies the number of cells along the X axis.

The row_count field specifies the number of cells along the Y axis.

The column_width field specifies the length of a cell in the given unit along the X axis.

The row_width field specifies the length of a cell in the given unit along the Y axis.

The spacing_unit field specifies the unit of measurement used for the spacing of the spatial index.

Clarifications

1 An association between two <DRM Feature Representation> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

2 An association between a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

3 An association between a <DRM Property Grid> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) represented by the <DRM Feature Representation> instance and the <DRM Property Grid> instance (or some specific cell data within that <DRM Property Grid> instance) have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship. Each associated <DRM Property Grid> instance will indicate whether the entire <DRM Property Grid> instance or only some specific cell data within it is participating in the relationship in question.

4 An association between two <DRM Feature Representation> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

5 An association between a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship.

6 An association between a <DRM Property Grid> instance and a <DRM Feature Representation> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) represented by the <DRM Feature Representation> instance and the <DRM Property Grid> instance (or some specific cell data within that <DRM Property Grid> instance) have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> instance on the association relationship. Each associated <DRM Property Grid> instance will indicate whether the entire <DRM Property Grid> instance or only some specific cell data within it is participating in the relationship in question.

7 This relationship exists to support attributes for derived objects. That is, these components are used only to specify texture mapping information for geometry that is to be derived from the <DRM Aggregate Feature> instance by the consumer. These <DRM Image Mapping Function> instances shall use <DRM Image Anchor> components to specify the mapping.

8 This is needed for cases in which a <DRM Aggregate Feature> instance is significant only for a particular domain, such as radar.

9 This is the origin of the collection, which is the lower-left corner.
