It is part of a one-year project at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich entitled “Research in Support of MGE Map Generalizer”, an effort which is sponsored by Intergraph EHQ through a hardware and software loan. The first half-year period was spent on a systematic assessment of the functions offered by MGMG, and initial suggestions for possible enhancements were made. MGMG is an attractive and interesting product. It is generally easy to use, and the computational performance is adequate two factors which are prerequisites for enabling a truly interactive workflow. In its present state, MGMG is probably most useful for generalizing data at large and medium scales (> 1:50,000), particularly for tasks of building and road generalization. At smaller scales, limitations of symbolization and display facilities presently restrict the applicability of the package. Since symbol size and width does not vary with the zoom level of the working view, it is not possible to visually check for feature overlaps or coalescence. This presents a particular problem to the generalization of point and linear features whose size and width is mainly dictated by symbolization; it does not, however, cause difficulties to the treatment of area features (e.g., land use, forest polygons) at smaller scales. We consider MGMG as an important strategic product in Intergraph's range of software solutions for the mapping and GIS market. There is an ever increasing interest in the market for better generalization functionality which is sadly missing from competitors' products. Most potential mapping customers are in a transition to digital production or have already accomplished it. Thus, the problem of assessing the possible productivity gain by digital over manual techniques has almost become secondary. Nevertheless, we estimate that a productivity gain can already be achieved with the current solution. In terms of the quality of generalization operators and related functions, the present version provides an excellent basis for further enhancement and can be fine-tuned to a maturity with relatively little effort. For the second half of the project term, further research will be pursued concentrating on the specification of possible enhancements with respect to generalization operators as well as functions for design support and quality evaluation.

[Vedettes matières IGN] GénéralisationRésumé : (Auteur) The project described in this article had two primary objectives : to design a strategy for terrain generalization that is adaptive to different terrain types, scales, and map purposes, and to implement and evaluate some components of this approach to assess its potential. The strategy includes three different generalization methods : a global filtering procedure, a selective (iterative) filtering method, and a heuristic approach based on the generalization of the terrain's structure lines. For a given generalization problem that is constrained by the terrain character, map objective, scale, graphic limits, and data quality, the appropriate technique is selected through structure and process recognition procedures. Some of the key components of the strategy have been implemented and some experiments were conducted. Other parts were covered by proposing models that could serve as implementation guidelines. Our work was intended to break ground for future research. Recommendations for appropriate parameter settings in relation to scale, terrain character, and other controls of generalization still need to be established. Some alternatives for knowledge acquisition for cartographic generalization are proposed, including the development of a highlevel interactive "terrain generalizer”.
