Automatic derivation of on-demand tactile maps for visually impaired people: first experiments and research agenda

Abstract: Tactile maps are essential tools for visually impaired people to comprehend space and to support the simple pedestrian trips made difficult by their disability. Tactile maps are created manually and printed by specialists, and it takes a large amount of time to create a new one, which prevents using them on demand for everyday use. As a consequence, researchers and cartographers try to automate this creation process, but the existing automated derivation processes do not include generalization or advanced styl… Show more

“…After a detailed analysis of the identified primary studies we can agree with the statements that appear in most of the articles, pointing out that automatic generalization processes are important in terms of automatic generation of both traditional and tactile maps [37][38][39]. It can also be noted that automatization of cartographic processes, which seemed impossible a few years ago, is now being successfully implemented in many countries.…”

“…A "micro" agent is a single geographic object (e.g., building), while a "meso" (macro) agent is a composition of "micro" or "meso" agents, as for generalization purposes they have to be considered together (e.g., a set of buildings in a neighborhood). This model is best used in dense [54] and well-structured urban areas [39]. On the other hand, the GAEL model (Generalisation based on Agents and Elasticity) is an extension of the Agent-based model for management of background themes such as relief.…”
