An Empirical Study on Relevant Aspects for Sketch Map Alignment

Automatic understanding of sketch maps using context-aware classification

“…We selected a heterogeneous collection of 30 sketch maps and manually created the ground truth for each of these maps. These sketch maps were taken from various experiments in the course of student works, theses (Wang, 2009;Blut, 2010), publications (Schwering et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2011;Jan et al, 2014) and ongoing, unpublished research. The database is available under http://cvpr.uni-muenster.de/ sketchdb/.…”

3D City Models and urban information: Current issues and perspectives

“…In the domain of sketch maps, landmarks for pedestrian navigation and qualitative geography, authors identify properties and relations relevant for somebody to locate himself otherwise than through the use of coordinates in space (Kopczynski, 2006;Wang et al, 2011). These works concentrated on identifying relations and properties that can be perceived and that are discriminating, typically a property will be a comparative property relative to a context "the highest building in the neighbourhood".…”

SketchMapia: Qualitative Representations for the Alignment of Sketch and Metric Maps

“…This article builds upon the authors' previous work on the cognitive aspects of SketchMapia (Wang & Schwering, 2009;Wang et al, 2010Wang et al, , 2011, Downloaded by [Georgian Court University] at 02:19 08 February 2015 segmentation of sketch maps (Broelemann, 2011;Broelemann & Jiang, 2013), investigations of qualitative representations (Chipofya et al, 2011;Jan et al, 2013;Jan et al, 2014), and the alignment . This article is the first to give a comprehensive overview of the whole framework describing how the different steps interact and build upon each other.…”
