This paper researched on change detection of outdated map road feature based on updated high-resolution satellite remote sensing (RS) image. The change of road feature was divided into two parts: one is disappear or partial change; the other is new added. To detect disappear or partial changed road, based on outdated map road feature, this paper put forward methods of multi-scale template match...

By adapting gear changes and cruise control of a Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) to road inclination, fuel and time savings can be achieved. In this thesis is presented a novel method of predicting the upcoming road topography, by constructing a geographical and topographical self-learning map from which a route prediction is made. The system is designed to simultaneously produce the desired road grad...

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...
