Study on the Method of Automatic Cartographic Generalization of Coastline
Fang Wang · 2010
Line simplification has been found to be one of the most important aspects in automatic cartographic generalization.The background,status and the trend of the automated generation were discussed,and the research on the method of auto selection of the marine features on digital charts were carried out.The principles of the coastline generalization and an application in automatic coastline cartographic generalization with fractals and fractal dimension were analyzed.Based on a research about distribute regulation and characteristics of the linear features and the assurance of the target of the automated generalizations,some realization methods of quantization,modeling and algorithmization material ways about marine features on digital charts were put forward,and the automatic generalizations of coastline at a certain extent were preparatorily realized.
