Visual Abstraction and Stylisation of Maps

Visual Abstraction and Stylisation of Maps

We explore visual map abstraction for the generation of stylized renderings of 2D map data. We employ techniques that are centered around the concept of shape simplification and graph layout and that allow iterative abstraction of 2D maps. We use data from publicly available sources and show how we can iteratively generate aesthetic renditions of these maps. These renditions do not have the goa...

Computer vision for the structured representation and stylisation of visual medial collections

Analogical Mapping Through Visual Abstraction

Analogical mapping theories tend to focus on matching identical symbols (either for objects or the relations between them). In the domain of visual representations we implemented a mapping system that uses separate domain knowledge (a shape-type superclass hierarchy) to re-represent analogs such that identicality can be found at different levels of abstraction. Such a scheme is useful where sha...

A Simple Abstraction of Arrays and Maps by Program Translation

We present an approach for the static analysis of programs handling arrays, with a Galois connection between the semantics of the array program and semantics of purely scalar operations. The simplest way to implement it is by automatic, syntactic transformation of the array program into a scalar program followed analysis of the scalar program with any static analysis technique (abstract interpr...
