The polyhedral discrete global grid system (DGGS) is a multi-resolution discrete earth reference model supporting the fusion and processing of multi-source geospatial information. The orientation of the polyhedron relative to the earth is one of its key design choices, used when constructing the grid system, as the efficiency of indexing will decrease if local areas of interest extend over multiple faces of the spherical polyhedron. To date, most research has focused on global-scale applications while almost no rigorous mathematical models have been established for determining orientation parameters. In this paper, we propose a method for determining the optimal polyhedral orientation of DGGSs for areas of interest on a regional scale. The proposed method avoids splitting local or regional target areas across multiple polyhedral faces. At the same time, it effectively handles geospatial data at a global scale because of the inherent characteristics of DGGSs. Results show that the orientation determined by this method successfully guarantees that target areas are located at the center of a single polyhedral face. The orientation process determined by this novel method reduces distortions and is more adaptable to different geographical areas, scales, and base polyhedrons than those employed by existing procedures.
Hexagonal discrete global grid systems are the preferred data models supporting multisource geospatial information fusion. Related research has aroused widespread concern in the academic community, and hierarchical indexing algorithms are one of the main research focuses. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for indexing the cell of a ringed spatial area based on a hexagonal lattice quad-tree (HLQT) structure and the indexing characteristics. First, we design a single-resolution indexing algorithm in which indexing starts from the initial quad tree and expands ring by ring using coding operations, and a quad-tree structure is applied to accelerate this process. Second, the hierarchical indexing algorithm is implemented based on single-resolution indexing, and a pyramid hierarchical model is established. Finally, we perform comparison experiments with existing algorithms. The results of the experiments indicate that the single-level indexing efficiency of the proposed algorithm is approximately twice that of the traditional method and that the hierarchical indexing efficiency is approximately 67 times that of the traditional method. These findings verify the feasibility and superiority of the algorithm proposed in this paper.

Grid system is a multi-resolution raster data structure, which is widely applied in organization, processing and analysis of multi-scale geospatial data. Research on hexagon grid system with important geometric attributes has attracted extensive attention in academia. Description and calculation of hierarchical relation is one of the research difficulties. According to the complex radix number theory and the affiliation of grid cells in interval hierarchy, the mathematical model of the planar aperture 4 hexagon grid system is established. Based on these, the equivalent encoding scheme is proposed, the encoding operations are defined and the rules of them are generalized. Meanwhile, the coding index and transformation between code and Cartesian coordinates are designed. The results of contrast experiments show that the proposed encoding scheme has structural symmetry compared with similar schemes, which can significantly improve the efficiency of encoding operation and has practical application potential.
Discrete global grid system is a new data model which supports the fusion processing of multi-source geospatial information.Research into hexagon grid systems that have excellent geometric attributes has raised academic concern.Description of hierarchical relation and design of encoding scheme are research difficulties.According to the characteristics of the planar aperture 4 hexagon grid system, this paper designs an encoding scheme named Hexagon Lattice Quad Tree (HLQT).Code operations are defined, rules of them are generalized and based on these, transformation between 2-dimensional coordinates and addressing codes is implemented.Compared with similar schemes, HLQT overcomes the disadvantages caught by encoding schemes which divide the odd and even levels or mix the vertices and centers for encoding.In addition, operation rules of HLQT are simpler and easier for complementation.Contrast experiments show that the add operation efficiency of HLQT is about 6 times that of PYXIS and about 5 times that of HQBS, the efficiency of the transform algorithm from 2-dimensional coordinates to codes is about 5 times that of HQBS, and the efficiency of the transform algorithm from codes to 2-dimensional coordinates is about 3 times that of HQBS.
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGSs) are spatial references that use a hierarchical tessellation of cells to partition and address the entire globe. They provide an organizational structure that permits fast integration between multiple sources of large and variable geospatial data sufficient for visualization and analysis. Despite a significant body of research supporting hexagonal DGGSs as the superior choice, the application thereof has been hindered owing in part to the lack of a rational hierarchy with an efficient addressing system. This paper presents an algebraic model of encoding scheme for the Aperture 3 Hexagonal (A3H) DGGS. Firstly, the definition of a grid cell, which is composed of vertices, edges, and a center, is introduced to describe fundamental elements of grids. Secondly, by identifying the grid cell with its center, this paper proves that cell centers at different levels can be represented exactly using a mixed positional number system in the complex plane through the recursive geometric relationship between two successive levels, which reveals that grid cells are essentially special complex radix numbers. Thirdly, it is shown that through the recursive geometric relationship of successive odd or even levels, the mixed positional number system can also be applied to uniquely represent cell centers at different levels under specific constraint conditions, according to which the encoding scheme is designed. Finally, it is shown that by extending the scheme to 20 triangular faces of the regular icosahedron, multi-resolution grids on closed surfaces of the icosahedron are addressed perfectly. Contrast experiments show that the proposed encoding scheme has the advantages of theoretical rigor and high programming efficiency and that the efficiency of cross-face adjacent cell searching is 242.9 times that of a similar scheme. Moreover, the proposed complex radix number representation is an ideal formalized description tool for grid systems. The research ideas introduced herein can be used to create a universal theoretical framework for DGGSs.
Vectors are a key type of geospatial data, and their discretization, which involves solving the problem of generating a discrete line, is particularly important. In this study, we propose a method for constructing a discrete line mathematical model for a triangular grid based on a "weak duality" hexagonal grid, to overcome the drawbacks of existing discrete line generation algorithms for a triangular grid. First, a weak duality relationship between triangular and hexagonal grids is explored. Second, an equivalent triangular grid model is established based on the hexagonal grid, using this weak duality relationship. Third, the two-dimensional discrete line model is solved by transforming it into a one-dimensional optimal wandering path model. Finally, we design and implement the dimensionality reduction generation algorithm for a discrete line in a triangular grid. The results of our comparative experiment indicate that the proposed algorithm has a computation speed that is approximately 10 times that of similar existing algorithms; in addition, it has better fitting effectiveness. Our proposed algorithm has broad applications, and it can be used for real-time grid transformation of vector data, discrete global grid system (DGGS), and other similar applications.

This paper adopts the base transform to realize the mutual transformation of square pixel and hexagonal pixel. This paper designs the corresponding discrete Fourier transform algorithm for any lattice. Finally, the paper show the result of the DFT of the remote sensing image of the hexagonal pixel.
