摘要:
This article describes a new set of algorithms for locally-adaptive line generalization based on the so-called natural principle of objective generalization. The drawbacks of existing methods of line generalization are briefly discussed and the algorithms described. The performance of these new methods is compared with benchmarks based on both manual cartographic procedures and a standard method found in many geographical information systems.
