Recognition of Abstract Regions in Cartographic Maps
In the human interpretation of cartographic maps the areas we shall call abstract regions consist of several symbols (map objects), which are grouped to a single object. This abstraction process is an important part of human map interpretation. Abstract regions exist as mental objects in a mental map in the interpreter’s mind. In this article we describe an approach to automate the human proces...
متن کاملModelling Cartographic Relations for Categorical Maps
Map generalisation seeks to maintain important map objects, patterns, and relationships, while suppressing unimportant ones. Hence, the spatial and semantic characteristics of map objects as well as the relations existing between them have to be detected, preserved and exploited for generalisation. Two main groups of relations can be differentiated: Horizontal relations exist on the same level ...
متن کاملMaps and atlases of cancer mortality: a review of a useful tool to trigger new questions
In this review we illustrate our view on the epidemiological relevance of geographically mapping cancer mortality. In the first part of this work, after delineating the history of cancer mapping with a view on interpretation of Cancer Mortality Atlases, we briefly illustrate the 'art' of cancer mapping. Later we summarise in a non-mathematical way basic methods of spatial statistics. In the sec...

متن کاملA New Method for Extracting Map Elements by Their Colors and Shapes from Color Cartographic Maps
A new method to extract map elements from color cartographic maps was developed. The proposed method is divided into three major sections: pre-processing, crude color segmentation, and extraction of map elements using their shapes. The whole segmenting process was done in the HSV color coordinates[l] instead of the RGB color coordinates. The preprocessing transforms the inputted RGB image into ...
