Perspectives about implementation of colour codes on maps accessible to blind people / Niédja Sodré de Araújo in International journal of cartography, vol 8 n° 1 (March 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > vol 8 n° 1 (March 2022) . - pp 133 - 147 Titre : Perspectives about implementation of colour codes on maps accessible to blind people Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Niédja Sodré de Araújo, Auteur ; Luciene Stamato Delazari, Auteur ; Amanda Pereira Antunes, Auteur ; Andrea Faria Andrade, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 133 - 147 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] carte tactile [Termes IGN] couleur imprimée [Termes IGN] personne malvoyante Résumé : (auteur) Tactile colour codes or tactile symbols were developed for communicating colours to blind people. Initially, these colour codes were designed to enable blind or visually impaired people to choose their own clothes and learn colour theory. The objective of this research is to investigate the perspectives of geoinformation professionals on the viability of implementing colour codes on thematic tactile maps using only the graphic primitive area. Thus, geoinformation professionals were invited to express their perspectives on ten colour code systems during and after the “I Workshop Usability 4 All”, which took place during the “XI Brazilian Colloquium on Geodetic Sciences”, Brazil, 2020. The results indicated that there is no consensus on which system is more appropriate for experimentation on tactile maps. However, Feelipa Color and See Color were the systems that showed the greatest potential as six participants preferred the first and five preferred the latter. This is associated with the fact that both systems were classified as relatively viable or potentially viable for implementation in the primitive area, considering the aspects of Drawing, Dimensions and Intuitiveness.

A user-centric optimization of emergency map symbols to facilitate common operational picture / Tomasz Opach in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° 2 (February 2022)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 49 n° 2 (February 2022) . - pp 134 - 153 Titre : A user-centric optimization of emergency map symbols to facilitate common operational picture Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tomasz Opach, Auteur ; Jan Ketil Rød, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 134 - 153 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] cartographie d'urgence [Termes IGN] entretien d'enquête [Termes IGN] Norvège [Termes IGN] représentation cartographique [Termes IGN] secours d'urgence [Termes IGN] sémiologie graphique [Termes IGN] symbole graphique [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (auteur) Common operational understanding among engaged emergency responders is facilitated through shared operational pictures during crisis situations. Sharing is typically achieved through interactive tools, either desktop or web-based, in which map displays play an essential role. That role can be further strengthened if (1) agreed emergency symbols that are used in map-based interactive tools are sufficient to encode multifaceted operational information visually; and (2) the symbols are legible and meaningful for the diverse users of those tools. The authors revisited official emergency map symbols in use in Norway and reconsidered them against current requirements. To this end, they first conducted several meetings with stakeholders to elicit adequate revision requirements. Next, the reconsideration included the extension of the symbol set, symbol modification, and grouping. After the reconsideration, emergency management officers and specialists were interviewed. The interviews confirmed the agreement with the symbol categorization, extension of the symbols, and their modifications. The interviewees also made numerous suggestions to be considered in a follow-up study. Moreover, two concepts – symbol standardization and symbol harmonization – were proposed.

Developing reliably distinguishable color schemes for legends of natural resource taxonomy-based maps / Virgil Vlad in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Vol 48 n° 5 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > Vol 48 n° 5 (September 2021) . - pp 393 - 416 Titre : Developing reliably distinguishable color schemes for legends of natural resource taxonomy-based maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Virgil Vlad, Auteur ; Mihai Toti, Auteur ; Sorina Dumitru, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 393 - 416 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] carte d'occupation du sol [Termes IGN] colorimétrie [Termes IGN] couleur (rédaction cartographique) [Termes IGN] couleur primaire [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] légende cartographique [Termes IGN] palette de couleurs [Termes IGN] ressources naturelles [Termes IGN] Roumanie [Termes IGN] taxinomie [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (auteur) The legends of natural resource taxonomy-based maps (e.g. soil, geological, geomorphological, vegetation, and land cover/land use) need many different distinguishable colors. The existing methods of color selection for map legends are based on the designer subjectivity, ensuring schemes having few colors. An analysis of the modeling and management of colors in digital applications has led to define an algorithm to calculate an objective colorimetric measure of color difference – “DE*ab” – based on the perceptually uniform color model CIELAB. The proposed method consists of a set of specific rules for developing hierarchically structured color schemes and a specific procedure for ensuring selection of a large number of reliably distinguishable colors, based on a color difference threshold. The accuracy of color reproduction in printing processes is also taken into account. The method has been applied to develop a standard of colors for soil maps. It contains 63 colors and has been used for developing a soil map having 41 standard colors. A user test of the method results proved that thresholds of 10 DE*ab units and 15 DE*ab units ensure obtaining acceptably distinguishable colors for displaying/printing maps by using high-quality, respectively, current devices. Three datasets that support the research are given.

However, most existing methods for evaluating map colors are tedious and subjective manual methods. In this paper, we study sequential color schemes, a widely used map color type and propose a learning-based approach for evaluating the color quality. The approach consists of two steps. First, we extract and characterize the cartographic factors for determining the quality of sequential color schemes, such as color order, color match, color harmony, color discrimination and color uniformity. Second, we present a model to predict the color quality based on AdaBoost, a type of ensemble learning algorithm with excellent classification performance and use these factors as input data. We conduct a case study based on 781 samples and train the AdaBoost-based model to predict the quality of sequential color schemes. To evaluate the model’s performance, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). The AUC values are 0.983 and 0.977 on the training data and testing data, respectively. These results indicate that the proposed approach can be used to automatically evaluate the quality of sequential color schemes for maps, which helps mapmakers select good colors.

Searching for an optimal hexagonal shaped enumeration unit size for effective spatial pattern recognition in choropleth maps / Izabela Karsznia in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 9 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 9 (September 2021) . - n° 576 Titre : Searching for an optimal hexagonal shaped enumeration unit size for effective spatial pattern recognition in choropleth maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Izabela Karsznia, Auteur ; Izabela Golebiowska, Auteur ; Jolanta Korycka-Skorupa, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 576 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Rédaction cartographique [Termes IGN] analyse spatiale [Termes IGN] carte choroplèthe [Termes IGN] carte thématique [Termes IGN] échelle cartographique [Termes IGN] enquête [Termes IGN] généralisation [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] reconnaissance de formes [Termes IGN] répartition géographique [Termes IGN] représentation cartographique [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (auteur) Thoughtful consideration of the enumeration unit size in choropleth map design is important to ensure the correct communication of spatial information. However, the enumeration unit size and its influence on pattern conveying in choropleth maps have not yet been the subject of in-depth empirical studies. This research aims to address this gap. We focused on the issue concerning whether the ability to recognize spatial patterns on an Equal Area Unit Map is related to the hexagonal enumeration unit size, defined by the number of pixels. The aim is to indicate the range of the enumeration unit sizes, namely, at what point the upper and lower borders of the range where the spatial patterns start, and where the end is visible and recognizable by users. To address this problem, we conducted an empirical study with 488 users. The results show that the enumeration unit size has an impact on the users’ spatial pattern recognition abilities. Choropleth maps with enumeration unit sizes of 26, 52, and 104 pixels were, in the majority, indicated by participants as those most suitable for indicating spatial patterns. This was in contrast to choropleth maps with enumeration unit sizes of 1664 and 3328 pixels, which users indicated as not being useful. However, there were some exceptions to this general finding. Thus, determining the optimal enumeration unit size is a challenging task, and requires further insightful investigations.
