Publisher Summary Research on the automation of cartographic generalization has led to
the development of a large number of generalization algorithms. This chapter describes …

Our research is concerned with automated generalisation of topographic vector databases
in order to produce maps. This article presents a new, agent-based generalisation model …

A l'heure actuelle, la plupart des bases de données spatiales sont gérées de manière
indépendante. Cette indépendance pose différents problèmes: elle multiplie les efforts de …

A nautical chart provides a schematic view of the seafloor where isobaths (contour lines
joining points of same depth) and depth soundings are generalized to highlight undersea …

Many research works in map generalisation concern building and road themes. Several
generalisation models, such as an agent-based generalisation model on which this paper …

Résumé Le suivi de phénomènes géographiques avec un système d'information
géographique (SIG) confronte l'utilisateur au problème de la gestion de la dimension …

In automatic map compilation, both the scale reduction and the geometric transformation of
map features may give rise to spatial conflicts. Several generalization approaches have …

The objective of cartographic generalisation is to simplify geographic data in order to create
legible maps when scale decreases. It often requires to reason at different levels of …

Résumé Ce papier présente une modélisation multiagents qui transforme, sur une parcelle
donnée, les règles urbaines de la forme en un Volume englobant réglementaire (Ver). Ce …

On most large scale and middle scale maps, relief is represented by contours and spot
heights. In order to adapt the representation to the scale, the terrain is generalised either by …
