Forest road construction is the most costly operation in forestry. Road designing and construction in unsuitable areas may increase construction and maintenance costs and also cause many environmental impacts. Therefore, it is required to pay more attention to forest road design. In this research, we tried to introduce an appropriate method for locating forest roads using GIS and AHP simultaneo...

The uses of road map in daily activities are numerous but it is a hassle to construct and update a road map whenever there are changes. research on Automatic Road Extraction (ARE) was explored to solve the difficulties in updating road map. The research started with using Satellite Image (SI), or in short, the ARESI project. A Hybrid Simple Colour Space Segmentation and Edge Detection (Hybrid S...

1 Due to the availability of GPS sensors in a variety of everyday devices, GPS trace-data is becoming 2 increasingly abundant. One potential use of this wealth of data is to infer, and update, the geometry 3 and connectivity of road maps, using what are known as “map generation” or “map inference” 4 algorithms. These algorithms offer a tremendous advantage when no existing road map data is 5 pr...

Automatic road map updating has been one of the difficult and important research topics in the community of geomatics. An operational road map updating system should include three key components: the generation of a new version of roads, the automatic road change detection/updating and the spatio-temporal modelling of road data. Special considerations have to be given to the spatio-temporal mod...

This paper presents a prototype system for automated generation of deformed maps, based on a psychological model in the field of cognitive map. The system consists of two parts; map deformation and map database management. The map deformation part has two functions; road deformation and landmark relocation. In the road deformation process, each road segment is transformed in parallel and iterat...
