Automated aggregation of geographic objects: A new approach to the conceptual generalisation of geographic databases

Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop a framework and a working prototype for the generalisation of object-and vector-based categorical maps -such as large-scale topographic data -based on inter-object relationships.We strive for a system that is to a large extent automated and can be operated by non-expert users.Large-scale topographic maps are commonly object-based, categorical maps.The objects are classified: 'road', 'building' etc.The spatial inter-object relationships in large-scale datasets are often complicated.We will concentrate on the aggregation of objects belonging to distinct object classes, based on the spatial and thematic relationships
