Geometric Proportional Analogies In Topographic Maps: Theory and Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper details the application of geometric proportional analogies in the sub-classification of polygons within a topographic (land cover) map. The first part of this paper concerns geometric proportional analogies that include attributes (fill-pattern and fillcolour). We describe an extension to the standard theory of analogy that incorporates attributes into the analogical mapping process. We identify two variants on this attribute matching extension, which is required to solve different types of geometric proportional analogy problems. In the second part of this paper we describe how we adapt one of the algorithms to identify structures in topographic datasets (maps). We detail the results of identifying a number of different structures on a sample topographic map.

Spatial Inference Based on Geometric Proportional Analogies
This paper addresses the domain of qualitative spatial reasoning, addressing two distinct domains of spatial information: namely geometric proportional analogies (GPA) and topographic (land-cover) maps. We present an analogy-based model that unites two distinct models that were developed, one for GPAs and the other for topographic maps. We describe how this new generalized model solves GPAs and...
متن کاملPrediction of kordan river geometric changes in the meandering Range
Predictions of total and even partial changes in rivers patterns are as the most essential issues related to rivers geomorphology. In this regarding, a lot of researches have been done by geomorphologists. This research has explored Kordan River aqueduct morphology changes in bights areas of Afkaneh cone surface. Kordan river is the one which has been affected by various factors and has changed...
متن کاملLUDI: A Model for Geometric Analogies using Attribute Matching
We review the work of Evans on graphical proportional analogies, identifying the object mappings that underlie many such comparisons. The limitations of Evans ANALOGY model are investigated. We then establish the role of attributes (colour, shape, pattern etc) in such analogies and identify two distinct mapping algorithms that are required by different classes of geometric analogy problems. We ...
متن کاملSolving Geometric Proportional Analogies with the Analogy Model HDTP
Intelligence tests often use geometric proportional analogies to examine the intelligence quotient of humans. Completing such a series of geometric figures can be a cognitively demanding task, because the solution requires a suitable conceptualization of the geometric figures. Furthermore, there might exist several, equally correct solutions depending on the conceptualization. In this paper, we...
متن کاملCorrection of Positional Errors and Geometric Distortions in Topographic Maps and DEMs Using a Rigorous SAR Simulation Technique
In the history of surveying and mapping, a large volumes of topographic maps and digital elevation models have been created at various scales throughout the world. However, positional errors and geometric distortions may exist in the topographic contour maps and their derived DEMs due to inaccurate ground control and poor navigation techniques in the early years. In this paper, we present a new...
