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.

Automating the process is complex but essential in map production. We think this research field could benefit from the recent advances in deep learning that make it possible to solve more and more complex tasks, using numerous training examples. This thesis proposes exploring the potential of deep learning for map generalization. This exploration is built upon three map generalization use cases: recognition of spatial relations, graphic generalization of mountain roads, and generalization of topographic maps at medium scales. These three use cases enable us to address research questions relative to the concrete implementation of deep learning models for map generalization (including dataset creation and architecture), the evaluation of such models and their integration in existing generalization processes. In addition to the models and training set adapted for each of our case studies already mentioned, we propose evaluation methods adapted to the challenges of cartographic generalization by deep learning. Finally, we propose a partitioning of the cartographic generalization into sub-problems facilitating the resolution by learning and allowing the generation of generalized map images.

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.

Incorporating ideas of structure and meaning in interactive multi scale mapping environments / Guillaume Touya in International journal of cartography, vol inconnu (2023)

Interacting with such digital maps at varying levels of detail is key to interpretation, and exploration of different geographies. The process of abstraction remains key to the immediate and successful interpretation of their many structures and geographical associations found at any given scale. Meaning is derived from such recognisable structures and map generalisation plays a critical role in communicating an entity's most characteristic and salient qualities. But what are these structures? How (and why) do they change over scale? Why are such questions relevant to automated mapping? In this paper we reflect on the value of perceptual studies and reconsider the context in which map generalisation now takes place. We review developments in pattern recognition techniques and the role played by machine learning techniques in identifying high level structures in abstracted maps. The benefits of their application include derivation of ontological descriptions of landscape, identification and preservation of salient landmarks across scales. We argue that a 'structuralist based approach' provides a more meaningful basis for measuring success and achieving more meaningful outputs. Ultimately the ambition is greater levels of automation in map generalisation, particularly in the context of web based solutions.

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.
