The quality of such maps is affected by several factors, such as (a) the matching between the features on images and the graphic symbols from maps, (b) the complexity of background images, and (c) the representation of graphic and text symbols on the images. This project deals with the first issue. The current solution is that the accuracy of images should satisfy the accuracy standard of maps. However, images with different resolutions can satisfy the standard for a specific map scale. This may lead to a situation in which the levels of detail (LoD) in images may not match the complexity of map features although the planimetric accuracy is matched. To solve this problem, we developed a complexity-based matching between the image resolution and map scale. More precisely, the matching is based on the complexity of line features. Experimental evaluations were conducted in 15 representative areas in Hong Kong using maps at seven scales and eight image resolutions. Results show that the proposed complexity-based method is capable of obtaining good matching between image resolution and map scale in terms of both accuracy and users’ preference.

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)

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.

A learning-based approach to automatically evaluate the quality of sequential color schemes for maps / Taisheng Chen in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, Vol 48 n° 5 (September 2021)

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.

Optimising 2-parameter Lambert Conformal Conic projections for ground-to-grid distortions / Sergio Baselga in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 380 (September 2021)

While equations giving ϕ0 and k0 in terms ϕl and ϕu can be found in the literature, inverse relationships are not readily found. They are derived in the present paper. These may be necessary in views of the planned future definition of the United States State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) 2022 for the users of particular mapping software requiring to specify the two latitude values instead of the central latitude and central scale. While map projection parameters are customary selected to minimise ellipsoid-to-grid distortions for a region, in some cases it could be more convenient to study and minimise ground-to-grid distortions. Also bearing in mind the design of SPCS 2022, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of working with each type of distortion definition.

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 : [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.
