“…Many commercial platforms for automatic map generation can be found online. The review revealed one that is managed by IGN France [75]. Users can order personalized maps (e.g., historical maps, or orthophotomaps) in either digital or paper form.…”

“…The authors mentioned Dutch Multi-Scale Information Model Topography (IMTOP), Danish multi-scale GeoDB, varying-scale OS MasterMap produced in Great Britain. In France, the IGN BDTOPO database is updated in six-months' cycles and is used to produce multi-scale vector data [75]. The authors pointed out that in many situations it is more important to have a database that is able to produce less-detailed up-to-date results, rather than very precise but out of date topographic maps.…”

This paper presents a systematic literature review that reflects the current state of research in the field of algorithms and models for map generalization, the existing solutions for automatic (tactile) map generation, as well as good practices for designing spatial databases for the purposes of automatic map development. A total number of over 500 primary studies were screened in order to identify the most relevant research on automatic (tactile) map generation from the last decade. The reviewed papers revealed many existing solutions in the field of automatic map production, as well as algorithms (e.g., Douglas–Peucker, Visvalingam–Whyatt) and models (e.g., GAEL, CartACom) for data generalization that might be used to transform traditional spatial data into the haptic form, suitable for blind and visually impaired people. However, it turns out that a comprehensive solution for automatic tactile map generation does not exist.

“…Novices in the field of automated generalisation, who have taken the hurdle of designing and implementing data models for their map data tend to start with automation of large scale databases (10K) to medium-scale databases (50k). Three NMAs have implemented fully automatic procedures Regnauld 2014;Lafay et al 2015) and other NMAs aim on following within the near future (Madden et al 2015;Frick & Johansson 2015). Many others have automated parts of the generalisation workflow.…”

ABSTRACT:Producing maps and geo-data at different scales is traditionally one of the main tasks of National (and regional) Mapping Agencies (NMAs). The derivation of low-scale maps (i.e. with less detail) from large-scale maps (with more detail), i.e. generalisation, used to be a manual task of cartographers. With the need for more up-to-date data as well as the development of automated generalisation solutions in both research and industry, NMAs are implementing automated generalisation production lines. To exchange experiences and identify remaining issues, a workshop was organised end 2015 by the Commission on Generalisation and Multirepresentation of the International Cartographic Association and the Commission on Modelling and Processing of the European Spatial Data Research. This paper reports about the workshop outcomes. It shows that, most NMAs have implemented a certain form of automation in their workflows, varying from generalisation of certain features while still maintaining a manual workflow; semiautomated editing and generalisation to a fully automated procedure.

“…This diversification of maps producers naturally leads to the multiplication of cartographic abstractions with a different cartographic content and a particular visual appearance defined as a topographic style (Kent and Vujakovic, 2009;Jolivet, 2009;Beconyte, 2011;Christophe, 2012;Ory et al, 2015). These various cartographic abstractions are provided to users in geovisualization applications in order to respond to theirs uses (Ruas, 2006;Bucher et al, 2007;Mericksay, 2011;Griffin and Fabrikant, 2012;Lafay et al, 2015;amongst others). According to their uses, needs and preferences, users switch from a cartographic abstraction to another.…”

Geoportals and geovisualization tools provide to users various cartographic abstractions that describe differently a geographical space. Our purpose is to be able to design cartographic continuums, i.e. a set of in-between maps al-lowing users to navigate between two topographic styles. This paper addresses the problem of the interpolation be-tween two topographic abstractions with different styles. We detail our approach in two steps. Firstly, we set-up a comparison in order to identify which structural elements of a cartographic abstraction should be interpolated. Secondly, we propose an approach based on two design methods for maps interpolation.
