Abstract

Most line processing algorithms developed so far in cartographic generalization focus on polygonal curves (or polylines). This representation model is sometimes not sufficient for certain processes due to its lack of continuity or smoothness. Indeed, it may provide poor results for lines having "smooth" initial shapes such as roads. Thus, we suggest using a modeling method based on B-spline curves. A maritime case study described in this paper shows that this representation provides good results at a fixed scale and is suitable for several automatic line cartographic generalization operators (smoothing, displacement, aggregation and compression). Lastly, we discuss the application of B-spline wavelets used in dealing with multi-scaling.
