Creation of Fiat Boundaries in Higher order Phenomenon
Omair Chaudhry, William Mackaness · 2006
Spatial database generalisation involves creation of higher order objects such as cities, forest regions, and mountain ranges from lower order objects in the source database (such as buildings, trees and individual groups of hills). In order to create these higher order objects in the database it is necessary to identify their extent in terms of their boundaries. These boundaries can then be used to determine the instances of source objects in terms of their higher order target objects. This paper presents an approach for generation of indeterminate boundaries for objects at higher levels of
