Quantitatively Optimized Selection of Proper Scale in Land Use Cartographic Generalization
This paper quantitatively analyzs the map information of different scales in the range of the mapping scale by making use of landscape pattern index, and constructs an evaluation index system by the standard of cartographic generalization evaluation. It takes land use cartographic generalization in Da Xing agricultural region of Beijing for an example, evaluates on the map quality between the s...
متن کاملCARTOGRAPHIC GENERALIZATION IN A DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT: WHEN AND How To GENERALIZE
A key aspect of the mapping process cartographic generalization plays a vital role in assessing the overall utility of both computer-assisted map production systems and geographic information systems. Within the digital environment, a significant, if not the dominant, control on the graphic output is the role and effect of cartographic generalization. Unfortunately, there exists a paucity of re...
متن کاملHow the Quality of Cartographic Generalization Is Assured – the Approach with an Automatic Cartographic Generalization Chain
As one of the key techniques in multi-representation database, GIS, mapmaking and Digital Earth, automatic cartographic generalization has been intensively researched since decades. Current developments worldwide have been concentrated on the efforts towards adaptive and easily embeddable automatic generalization modules or services. Based on an analysis of the common rules concerning the quali...
متن کاملA greedy randomized adaptive search procedure for the point-feature cartographic label placement
The point-feature cartographic label placement problem (PFCLP) is an NP-hard problem which appears during the production of maps. The labels must be placed in predefined places avoiding overlaps and considering cartographic preferences. Due to its high complexity several heuristics have been presented searching for approximated solutions. This paper proposes a greedy randomized adaptive search ...
متن کاملB-spline Curve Fitting: Application to Cartographic Generalization of Maritime Lines
Generalization is the process of abstraction applied when the scale of a map is changed. It involves modifications of data in such a way that the data can be represented in a smaller space, while best preserving geometric as well as descriptive characteristics. A map is an abstracted model representing the geometric reality. The smaller the scale, the more schematic the representation. Line car...
