This comprehensive and well-established cartography textbook covers the theory and the
practical applications of map design and the appropriate use of map elements. It explains …

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 …

Geovisualization applications typically organize data into layers. These layers hold different
types of geographical features, describe different characteristics of the same features, or …

Most of the maps used today are what we call pan-scalar maps, ie interactive zoomable
applications comprised of numerous maps of a particular area at different zoom levels (ie …

Computer screens often constrain the level of detail and clarity of displays. High-density data
require a predefined strategy to select significant features hierarchically to allow interactive …

Mapping applications display multi-scale maps where zooming in and out triggers the
display of different maps at different scales. Multi-scale maps strongly augmented the …

Until now, road network generalization has mainly been applied to the task of generalizing
from one fixed source scale to another fixed target scale. These actions result in large …

Automatic map generalization is a complex task that is still a research problem and requires
the development of research prototypes before being usable in productive map processes …

ABSTRACT GIS software applications and other mapping tools enable users to correlate
data from multiple layers and gain insight from the resulting visualizations. However, most of …

In traditional generalisation flow lines, the target map is specified upstream, manually, by
cartographers and is intended to answer generic, well-identified user needs. In the emerging …
