The generalization research community needs to broaden its scope to include thematic cartography and geovisualization. Generalization is not new to these areas of cartography, and has in fact always been involved in thematic geographic visualization, despite rarely being acknowledged. We illustrate this involvement with several examples of famous, public-audience thematic maps, noting the generalization procedures involved in drawing each, both across their basemap and thematic layers. We also consider, for each map example we note, which generalization operators were crucial to the formation of the map’s thematic message. The many incremental gains made by the cartographic generalization research community while treating reference data can be brought to bear on thematic cartography in the same way they were used implicitly on the well-known thematic maps we highlight here as examples.

The article makes the following contributions. First, the generalization methodology contained in the official documents was acquired and presented in the form of the knowledge base. Second, the possibilities and limitations of the implementation of the knowledge base in ArcGIS were discussed. Third, the suitability of the BDOT10k structure for the purpose of automatic generalization performance was verified. As a result of the conducted generalization tests, it was found that the formalization and implementation of the methodology contained in the official specifications, in the automatic mode are not entirely possible. The generalization results, however, are promising. The presented research is in line with the studies recently conducted not only by Polish but also other European National Mapping Agencies.

Automated conflation of digital elevation model with reference hydrographic lines / Timofey Samsonov in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 9 n° 5 (May 2020)

Conflation is a process that solves the misalignment problem through spatial adjustment or attribute transfer between similar features in two datasets. Even though a combination of digital elevation model (DEM) and vector hydrographic lines is a common practice in spatial analysis and mapping, no method for automated conflation between these spatial data types has been developed so far. The problem of DEM and hydrography misalignment arises not only in map compilation, but also during the production of generalized datasets. There is a lack of automated solutions which can ensure that the drainage network represented in the surface of generalized DEM is spatially adjusted with independently generalized vector hydrography. We propose a new method that performs the conflation of DEM with linear hydrographic data and is embeddable into DEM generalization process. Given a set of reference hydrographic lines, our method automatically recognizes the most similar paths on DEM surface called counterpart streams. The elevation data extracted from DEM is then rubbersheeted locally using the links between counterpart streams and reference lines, and the conflated DEM is reconstructed from the rubbersheeted elevation data. The algorithm developed for extraction of counterpart streams ensures that the resulting set of lines comprises the network similar to the network of ordered reference lines. We also show how our approach can be seamlessly integrated into a TIN-based structural DEM generalization process with spatial adjustment to pre-generalized hydrographic lines as additional requirement. The combination of the GEBCO_2019 DEM and the Natural Earth 10M vector dataset is used to illustrate the effectiveness of DEM conflation both in map compilation and map generalization workflows. Resulting maps are geographically correct and are aesthetically more pleasing in comparison to a straightforward combination of misaligned DEM and hydrographic lines without conflation.

Recent research showed the potential of deep learning techniques to overcome some remaining research problems regarding the automation of cartographic generalisation. This paper explores this potential on the popular mountain road generalisation problem, which requires smoothing the road, enlarging the bend summits, and schematising the bend series by removing some of the bends. We modelled the mountain road generalisation as a deep learning problem by generating an image from input vector road data, and tried to generate it as an output of the model a new image of the generalised roads. Similarly to previous studies on building generalisation, we used a U-Net architecture to generate the generalised image from the ungeneralised image. The deep learning model was trained and evaluated on a dataset composed of roads in the Alps extracted from IGN (the French national mapping agency) maps at 1:250,000 (output) and 1:25,000 (input) scale. The results are encouraging as the output image looks like a generalised version of the roads and the accuracy of pixel segmentation is around 65%. The model learns how to smooth the output roads, and that it needs to displace and enlarge symbols but does not always correctly achieve these operations. This article shows the ability of deep learning to understand and manage the geographic information for generalisation, but also highlights challenges to come.

Owing to the complexity of this particular map type, the process of geological map generalization has not been comprehensively addressed, and thus a complete automated system for geological map generalization is not yet available. In particular, while in other areas of map generalization constraint-based techniques have become the prevailing approach in the past two decades, generalization methods for geological maps have rarely adopted this approach. This paper seeks to fill this gap by presenting a methodology for the automation of geological map generalization that builds on size constraints (i.e., constraints that deal with the minimum area and distance relations in individual or pairs of map features). The methodology starts by modeling relevant size constraints and then uses a workflow consisting of generalization operators that respond to violations of size constraints (elimination/selection, enlargement, aggregation, and displacement) as well as algorithms to implement these operators. We show that the automation of geological map generalization is possible using constraint-based modeling, leading to improved process control compared to current approaches. However, we also show the limitations of an approach that is solely based on size constraints and identify extensions for a more complete workflow.
