The goal is to produce legible and informative maps even at small scales from a detailed dataset. The potential of deep learning to help in this task is still unknown. This article examines the use case of mountain road generalisation, to explore the potential of a specific deep learning approach: generative adversarial networks (GAN). Our goal is to generate images that depict road maps generalised at the 1:250k scale, from images that depict road maps of the same area using un-generalised 1:25k data. This paper not only shows the potential of deep learning to generate generalised mountain roads, but also analyses how the process of deep learning generalisation works, compares supervised and unsupervised learning and explores possible improvements. With this experiment we have exhibited an unsupervised model that is able to generate generalised maps evaluated as good as the reference and reviewed some possible improvements for deep learning-based generalisation, including training set management and the definition of a new road connectivity loss. All our results are evaluated visually using a four questions process and validated by a user test conducted on 113 individuals.

A hexagon-based method for polygon generalization using morphological operators / Lu Wang in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 37 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of geographical information science IJGIS > vol 37 n° 1 (January 2023) Titre : A hexagon-based method for polygon generalization using morphological operators Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Lu Wang, Auteur ; Tinghua Ai, Auteur ; Dirk Burghardt, Auteur ; Yilang Shen, Auteur ; Min Yang, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] données maillées [Termes IGN] généralisation cartographique automatisée [Termes IGN] morphologie mathématique [Termes IGN] polygone [Vedettes matières IGN] Généralisation Résumé : (auteur) Numerous methods based on square rasters have been proposed for polygon generalization. However, these methods ignore the inconsistent distance measurement among neighborhoods of squares, which may result in an imbalanced generalization in different directions. As an alternative raster, a hexagon has consistent connectivity and isotropic neighborhoods. This study proposed a hexagon-based method for polygon generalization using morphological operators. First, we defined three generalization operators: aggregation, elimination, and line simplification, based on hexagonal morphological operations. We then used corrective operations with selection, skeleton, and exaggeration to detect, classify, and correct the unreasonably reduced narrow parts of the polygons. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted experiments comparing the hexagonal raster to square raster and vector data. Unlike vector-based methods in which various algorithms simplified either areal objects or exterior boundaries, the hexagon-based method performed both simplifications simultaneously. Compared to the square-based method, the results of the hexagon-based method were more balanced in all neighborhood directions, matched better with the original polygons, and had smoother simplified boundaries. Moreover, it performed with shorter running time than the square-based method, where the minimal time difference was less than 1 min, and the maximal time difference reached more than 50 mins.

Linear building pattern recognition in topographical maps combining convex polygon decomposition / Zhiwei Wei in Geocarto international, vol 38 n° inconnu ([01/01/2023])  

Public [article]  inGeocarto international > vol 38 n° inconnu [01/01/2023] Titre : Linear building pattern recognition in topographical maps combining convex polygon decomposition Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Zhiwei Wei, Auteur ; Su Ding, Auteur ; Lu Cheng, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique [Termes IGN] carte topographique [Termes IGN] construction [Termes IGN] décomposition [Termes IGN] détection du bâti [Termes IGN] forme linéaire [Termes IGN] généralisation cartographique automatisée [Termes IGN] Ordnance Survey (UK) [Termes IGN] polygone [Termes IGN] reconnaissance de formes Résumé : (auteur) Building patterns are crucial for urban form understanding, automated map generalization, and 3 D city model visualization. The existing studies have recognized various building patterns based on visual perception rules in which buildings are considered as a whole. However, some visually aware patterns may fail to be recognized with these approaches because human vision is also proved as a part-based system. This paper first proposed an approach for linear building pattern recognition combining convex polygon decomposition. Linear building patterns including collinear patterns and curvilinear patterns are defined according to the proximity, similarity, and continuity between buildings. Linear building patterns are then recognized by combining convex polygon decomposition, in which a building can be decomposed into sub-buildings for pattern recognition. A novel node concavity is developed based on polygon skeletons which is applicable for building polygons with holes or not in the building decomposition. And building’s orthogonal features are also considered in the building decomposition. Two datasets collected from Ordnance Survey (OS) were used in the experiments to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results indicate that our approach achieves 25.57% higher precision and 32.23% higher recall in collinear pattern recognition and 15.67% higher precision and 18.52% higher recall in curvilinear pattern recognition when compared to existing approaches. Recognition of other kinds of building patterns including T-shaped and C-shaped patterns combining convex polygon decomposition are also discussed in this approach.

Thematic maps are used in education and the lack of such materials makes it difficult to fulfill particular subjects’ curriculums. In this research, we propose a methodology for automatic compilation of legible and cartographically sound educational thematic tactile maps that bases on the concept of anchor layers and uses unequivocal parameters for generalization operators. Using such an approach we were able to automate the most complicated parts of the procedure that deal particularly with the generalization of geospatial data. We verify the proposed methodology by preparing a sample case study 3D printed map that is later evaluated by students with visual impairments. We also evaluate a novel approach of hybrid map production that consists of both graphic and tactile content. Our results suggest that the proposed methodology can be used for fast and repeatable production of fully fledged thematic tactile maps and that it forms a significant step toward completely automatic tactile maps development in the future.

Polyline simplification based on the artificial neural network with constraints of generalization knowledge / Jiawei Du in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Vol 49 n° 4 (July 2022)

The proposed method measures polyline shape characteristics that influence polyline simplification using abstracted descriptors and then introduces these descriptors into the artificial neural network as input properties. In total, 18 descriptors categorized into three types are presented in detail. In a second approach, map simplification principles are abstracted as controllers, imposed after the output layer of the trained artificial neural network to make the polyline simplification comply with these principles. This study worked with three controllers – a basic controller and two knowledge-based controllers. These descriptors and controllers abstracted from generalization knowledge were tested in experiments to determine their efficacy in polyline simplification based on the artificial neural network. The experimental results show that the utilization of abstracted descriptors and controllers can constrain the artificial neural network-based polyline simplification according to polyline shape characteristics and simplification principles.
