  1. COMPARING IMAGE-BASED METHODS FOR ASSESSING VISUAL CLUTTER IN GENERALIZED MAPS

    G. Touya – B. Decherf – M. Lalanne – M. Dumont COGIT team IGN France ISSDQ 2015 – Geospatial week
  2. Evaluation of map generalization Accept or cancel Initial data Select

    situation and algorithms Apply selected process evaluation required Map output
  3. Evaluation of map generalization • User map requirements • Cartographic

    rules Generalization constraints « Building area > 0.4 map mm² » « Building granularity > 0.1 map mm » « Building/road distance > 0.1 map mm » « Building alignments should be preserved »

  16. Conclusion • Image-based clutter measures can be useful for generalization

    evaluation • Clutter measures vary differently with generalization
  17. What’s next? • Test other methods (feature congestion, color clustering,

    crowding model…) • Compare with vector-based methods • Combine several complementary methods • Compare to generalization evaluation methods
  18. Any Question? G. Touya – B. Decherf – M. Lalanne

    – M. Dumont COGIT team IGN France ISSDQ 2015 – Geospatial week
  19. Implementation detail • All is available in open source Java

    platform GeOxygene • Use of OpenIMAJ library [Hare et al 2011] • Test images can be made available on demand for comparisons
