Resolving graphic conflict in scale reduced maps : a simulated annealing approach

This thesis explores the use of the stochastic optimisation technique of simulated annealing for cartographic map generalisation. The technique performs operations of displacement, deletion, reduction and enlargement of multiple map objects in order to resolve graphic conflict resulting from a reduc...
