Thematic Mapping from Imagery: an Aspect of Automated Map Generalization

Map generalization, as a means of portraying the complex real world, has to date been confined to the manipulation of map data. With the advent of new data acquisition techniques, particularly remote sensing, data sources for spatial analysis have greatly increased. However, map generalization from image data is a challenging problem. In this paper, the conceptual and technical problems in gene...

On-demand mapping and integration of thematic data

Cartographic mashup is a powerful tool for users to visualize thematic data together with base maps, and it is increasingly popular due to the better availability of geodata. In current typical mashups, thematic data and base maps come from different providers without any connection between the data sets, and their scales are not synchronized. In this paper, we firstly explore the problems in s...

Image-Based Coral Reef Classification and Thematic Mapping

This paper presents a novel image classification scheme for benthic coral reef images that can be applied to both single image and composite mosaic datasets. The proposed method can be configured to the characteristics (e.g., the size of the dataset, number of classes, resolution of the samples, color information availability, class types, etc.) of individual datasets. The proposed method uses ...

The Continuum of Classification Fuzziness in Thematic Mapping

Thematic mapping from remotely sensed data is generally achieved through the application of a supervised image classification. Although this is one of the most common applications of remote sensing, the maps derived are often of insufficient accuracy for operational use. Consequently, considemble research effort has been directed at increasing the accuracy of thematic mapping, particularly thro...
