This paper presents a systematic literature review that reflects the current state of research in
the field of algorithms and models for map generalization, the existing solutions for …

This article addresses the problem of incorporating cognitively salient landmarks in
computer-generated navigation instructions. On the basis of a review of the existing …

In economy, society and personal life map-based interactive geospatial visualization
becomes a natural element of a growing number of applications and systems. The …

Worlds-in-Miniature (WiMs) are interactive worlds within a world and combine the
advantages of an input space, a cartographic map, and an overview+ detail interface. They …

Shape characterisation is important in many fields dealing with spatial data. For this
purpose, numerous shape analysis and recognition methods with different degrees of …

Man-made objects are ubiquitous in the real world and in virtual environments. While such
objects can be very detailed, capturing every small feature, they are often identified and …

The role of robots in society keeps expanding, bringing with it the necessity of interacting
and communicating with humans. In order to keep such interaction intuitive, we provide …

Virtual 3D city models increasingly cover whole city areas; hence, the perception of complex
urban structures becomes increasingly difficult. Using abstract visualization, complexity of …

The process of urban landmark-based navigation has proven to be difficult to study in a
rigorous fashion, primarily due to confounding variables and the problem of obtaining …
