Algorithms for Automated Line Generalization in GIS

Geographic Information Systems (ARCGIS-ESRI) have tools to produce cartographical generalizations that are based in spatial transformations which alter the geometrical data and topological representation. The major spatial objects use vector as the basic entities for representation. Vectorial generalization has been well studied and is the most common transformation used in existent systems. Th...

Data Mining for Automated GIS Data Collection

The automatic analysis of spatial data sets presumes to have techniques for interpretation and structure recognition. Such procedures are especially needed in GIS and digital cartography in order to automate the time-consuming data update and to generate multi-scale representations of the data. In order to infer higher level information from a more detailed data set, coherent, homogeneous struc...

ProjectionWizard –AnOnlineMap Projection Selection Tool

The selection of map projections is difficult and confusing for many. This article introduces Projection Wizard, an online map projection selection tool available at projectionwizard.org that helps mapmakers select projections. The user selects the desired distortion property, and the area to be mapped on an interactive web map. Projection Wizard then proposes a projection, along with projectio...

On Automated Map Selection Problem in Indoor Navigation for Smart Devices

For outdoor navigation, we use unique and publicly available Google maps. For indoor navigation, we use separate maps which are not available everywhere. A challenging problem in indoor navigation is to find a method to automatically select the appropriate map in a multi-floor building. In this paper, we present a map selection model and assisted algorithms, which uses GPS (satellite number and...
