Method of Constructing Point Generalization Constraints Based on the Cloud Platform

Abstract

As an important part of spatial data, the point feature has always been an essential element in web maps and navigation maps. With the development of location-based services and the rapid increase in volunteered geographic information and social media data, the amount of point data is increasing day by day, resulting in inevitable problems of overlay and congestion during visualization. Map generalization provides multiple algorithms that can be used to select, aggregate and make typification of points or point clusters. For the generalization of point data, however, the traditional stand-alone computing environment has difficulty with real-time realization. Currently, the rapid development of cloud computing technology provides a powerful support for improving the efficiency of map generalization. However, compared with the stand-alone environment, the data decomposition and the real-time display of point generalization in the cloud platform imposes higher requirements on the point generalization constraints, which play an important role in point-generalized process control. Based on the computational characteristics of the cloud platform, this paper analyzes the changes in point generalization constraints. In addition, our work proposes the constraints of point generalization based on the cloud platform and its construction method, builds a prototype system based on the Hadoop cloud platform. Our prototype system is tested using typical experimental data. Its efficiency and the quality of its results is examined. The results show that the efficiency and quality of point selection can be significantly improved by controlling the point generalization process with the generalization constraints in the cloud computing environment proposed in this paper. This paper provides a possible way for the realization of map generalization in the cloud computing environment. Its usability with real data and with many users accessing it will be the focus of further research. popularization of social media, the Internet of Things, sensor networks and so forth, the types and numbers of point data have grown dramatically. At the same time, along with the expansion of mobile phone terminal map applications and the increase in wireless network bandwidth, the number of point data displayed by mobile phones is also increasing rapidly. When displaying a large number of point features, many visual problems are inevitably encountered [2]. For example, when performing zooming operations, crowding and overlay between symbols can easily occur. This outcome is even more important in the case of maps for visually impaired users, where the usable map load is much more limited [3]. Using a smaller version of map symbols is a solution only in the case of a small difference between the original and target scale. Online filtering alleviates this problem to some extent, but it only acts as a solution for computer problems and cannot reflect the spatial relationship between the features.Cartographic generalization is an indispensable technique for ...

Geometric Feature Extraction of Point Cloud of Chemical Reactor Based on Dynamic Graph Convolution Neural Network

“…The traditional methods of point cloud feature extraction mainly have two directions: the first is feature extraction based on a triangular network model, and the other is feature extraction based on scattered point clouds. − Among them, the point cloud is triangulated on the basis of a triangular mesh for feature extraction. This method establishes the topological relationship of point cloud data, and it takes the edge of a triangular patch as the feature line, which simplifies the process of feature point extraction.…”
