Description
Theoretical and Applied Solutions in Multi Scale Mapping
Users have come to expect instant access to up-to-date geographical information,
with global coverage--presented at widely varying levels of detail, as digital and paper products; customisable data that can readily
combined with other geographic information. These requirements present an immense challenge to those supporting the delivery of such
services (National Mapping Agencies (NMA), Government Departments, and private business. Generalisation of Geographic Information:
Cartographic Modelling and Applications provides detailed review of state of the art technologies associated with these challenges,
including the most recent developments in cartometric analysis techniques able to support high levels of automation among multi scale
derivation techniques.
The book illustrates the application of these ideas within existing and emerging technologies. In addition to
providing a comprehensive theoretical underpinning, the book demonstrates how theoretical developments have translated into commercial
systems deployed within NMAs.
The book explores relevance of open systems in support of collaborative research and open source web based
map services.
Audience
Relevant to those interested in all aspects of modelling and visualisation of geographic phenomena, to researchers and practitioners in
the field of Geographical Information Science, Informatics and Computer Science, and t* map publishers and NMAs
