Expert Systems And The Map Label Placement Problem
Computer programs that place feature labels on maps are often cited as the one successful application of expert systems to automatic map compilation. This paper argues that the map label placement programs which are claimed to be expert systems stretch the defining boundaries of expert systems and that the most significant use of expert systems technology in existing label placement programs is an inappropriate use of that technology. The results…
Honoring Discontinuities and Other Surface Features During Grid Processing on Vector Computers
This paper describes how certain mathematical smoothing operations can be applied to cartographic grid models using software designed to run on an array processor or supercomputer. The grids may have imbedded surface discontinuities, grid nodes with no assigned node values and grid nodes with fixed values. Many computer programs have been written to produce and to process grids with these characteristics, but when executed against large grids on …
Integer Programming Applied To The Map Label Placement Problem
This paper describes a point label placement program that uses a mathematical optimization algorithm to determine the best position for each label. The program detects all label overplots, moves labels to new positions to resolve overplot problems, and deletes labels when absolutely necessary. All tasks are performed without human intervention. The program is designed for use in production mapping application in the oil industry where thousands o…
