Map Generalization of Road Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper introduces a new algorithm for the elimination of arcs in road maps. The algorithm is based on information theory. A case study illustrates how the algorithm works. The perceptual properties of the map reader and the resolution of the display unit are brought into the algorithm by a similarity function.

Automatic Generalization of Roads and Buildings
Map generalization simplifies the details of map representation. Automatic generalization has been a hot research topic for decades, but there does not exist a set of universal rules or algorithms that explicitly defines how generalization should be performed. This paper presents a method to automatically generalize roads and buildings. With the proposed method, road generalization and building...
متن کاملGeneralization of Road Networks for Mobile Map Services: an Information Theoretic Approach
Automated generalization of road networks has become an urgent task in the cartographic utilization of mobile services. The drawing area of the hand held phones or units is small and the resolution is limited. Therefore, the information presented on these visual display units must be highly dedicated to the need of information, i.e., adaptive generalization must be considered. The use of precom...
متن کاملRoad selection based on Voronoi diagrams and "strokes" in map generalization
Road selection is a prerequisite to effective road network generalization. This article introduces a novel algorithm for road network selection in map generalization, which take four types of information into consideration: statistical, metric, topological, and thematic at three spatial scales: macro-scale which describes the general pattern of networks,mezzo-scale that handles relationships am...
متن کاملSession / Séance 47-B The ‘Good Continuation’ Principle of Perceptual Organization applied to the Generalization of Road Networks
Perceptual organization (or grouping) principles play a vital role in the understanding of images and maps, and their importance in map generalization has also long been recognized. This paper presents a brief review of the application of the principles in map generalization, and then examines their particular relevance to the generalization of road networks. It is shown how the ‘good continuat...
متن کاملForest Road Design in Stable Location to Minimize Erosion (Case Study: Vaston District)
Soil erosion is of the most important environmental challenges and factors of forest damage, which is, occur because of the land use change, road construction and lack of vegetation cover. Forest soil is naturally penetrable but forest roads are not. This issue causes the flows runoff on road surface and washes soil particles. Thus, forest roads must be planned and constructed accurately. So, t...
