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.

An experiment using the graphic variable color and the see color code on isarithmic maps accessible to blind and normally sighted people / Niédja Sodré de Araújo in Boletim de Ciências Geodésicas, vol 27 n° 1 ([01/03/2021])

This study assessed the perception of the theme Temperature by blind people, by using the See Color code on two isarithmic tactile maps and the perception of subjects with normal color vision. An average temperature map of Australia had 10 classes, but these intervals were regrouped into four classes on Corel Draw software. The new map was duplicated in the digital project in A4 size, both included the See Color code in two color schemes obtained from the Color Brewer website. Subsequently, they were laser-printed on swell paper to produce the tactile relief. The chromatic perception was observed, as well as the thermal sensations that the colors could represent for blind participants (06), normally sighted participants in basic education (23), and normally sighted participants in higher education (20). In this research, the See Color code showed the potential to provide spatial knowledge as a graphic language through colors in color maps for adventitiously blind and for normally sighted participants based on their perception of colors and tactile color codes.

Toward green cartography & visualization: a semantically-enriched method of generating energy-aware color schemes for digital maps / Yangli Han in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 48 n° 1 (January 2021)

Energy-aware design intersects two important trends in cartography. First, as more maps are viewed today on mobile, battery life has become a central constraint influencing design. Second, there is increasing need for green computing, which encourages the efficient use of energy to limit environmental impacts. This paper focuses on one important aspect of energy-aware cartography: color design. Existing research on energy-aware color adjustment methods apply broadly to images or websites. However, the colors used in maps have more structured semantic relationships than most documents viewed on mobile devices, and efforts to account for these relationships while reducing energy consumption are limited. To fill this gap, we mathematically formalize energy-aware map-color adjustment as a constrained optimization problem: we define energy consumption as the objective function and model the preservation of semantic relationships as the search constraints. We evaluate our proposed method against a common color dimming method using four maps with different semantic relationships. The evaluation suggests that our proposed method better preserves the original color semantics.

Visualization of 3D property data and assessment of the impact of rendering attributes / Stefan Seipel in Journal of Geovisualization and Spatial Analysis, vol 4 n° 2 (December 2020)

The design of a visualization prototype is linked to real-case 3D property information. In an interview with domain experts, the functional and visual features of the prototype are assessed. The choice of rendering attributes was identified as an important aspect for further analysis. A computational approach to systematic assessment of the consequences of different graphical design choices is proposed. This approach incorporates a colour similarity metric, visual saliency maps, and k-nearest-neighbour (kNN) classification to estimate risks of confusing or overlooking relevant elements in a visualization. The results indicate that transparency is not an independent visual variable, as it affects the apparent colour of 3D objects and makes them inherently more difficult to distinguish. Transparency also influences visual saliency of objects in a scene. The proposed analytic approach was useful for visualization design and revealed that the conscious use of graphical attributes, like combinations of colour, transparency, and line styles, can improve saliency of objects in a 3D scene.
