Automated Schematic Mapping for MobileGIS: Technical developments and Human Factors requirements |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
This paper looks at how human factors requirements can be considered in the context of graphic conflict reduction for Mobile GIS applications. Currently this reduction is achieved by using schematic mapping techniques. With the advent of high-end miniature technology as well as digital geographic data products like OSMasterMap and OSCAR it is essential to devise proper methodologies for map generalization specifcally tailored for MobileGIS applications. This paper is concerned with the problem of producing schematic maps suitable for rendering on mobile display devices (e.g. PDAs). The application of schematic mapping can be-thought of as a data reduction technique for large scale datasets to make it suitable for rendering in mobile applications. These techniques have been based on computation and have not incorporated any understanding of how the simpliJication aflects the ease of use of the maps. It is therefore desirable to devise suitable generalization techniques incorporating human factors considerations for generating schematic maps from large scale datasets for display on small display devices to be usedfor MobileGIS applications. |
