Geological maps are an important information source used in the support of activities relating to mining, earth resources, hazards, and environmental studies. 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 m...

The recognition of structures is fundamental to map generalization, furnishing structural information that assists in choosing and parameterizing generalization operators. We specifically focus on the process of recognizing groups of small polygons in geological maps as a prerequisite to subsequent aggregation or typification operators. Proximity b...

The automation of the map generalization process has been the focus of much research and investigation, which has repeatedly highlighted the significance of modelling the spatial relationship between map features to understand their meaning and importance for the generalized map. For the case of polygon generalization for reduced-scale geological m...

Cartographic generalization in geological mapping is receiving increasing interest, though only few reliable automated generalization tools are available for this purpose today. Thus, improvements to methods for the generalization of categorical data, such as geological or soil maps are in demand. Weadvocate a constraint-based approach for geologic...

Given the importance of natural resources exploration, generalization in geological mapping is receiving increasing interest, though only few reliable automated generalization tools are available for this purpose today. Thus, improvements to methods for the generalization of categorical data, such as geological or soil maps are in demand. In this s...

Automated generalization, rooted from conventional cartography, has become an increasing concern in both geographic information system (GIS) and mapping fields. All geographic phenomenon and the processes are bound to the scale, as it is impossible for human being to observe the Earth and the processes in it without decreasing its scale. To get opt...
