Creation of the Anamorphoses-Based 3D-Pyramidal Block-Diagrams

This paper reports on work undertaken to create a 3D image, which displays as many indices as possible (thematic attributes) on a map. A new method has been developed for displaying the information. It resembles the classical method of the block-diagrams (prism maps), but it has more advantages and the efficiency is much greater. In addiltion, this method can be used simultaneously with anamorphosing. The technique of 3D anamorphoses (cartograms) compilation is outlined. Accordingly, algorithms for dynamic anamorphoses compilation for multi-dimensional images and multi-dynamic animations are discussed. Keywords: 3D images, anamorphoses, multifaceted pyramids, multi-dynamic animations, algorithms
