cartographic generalisation using cooperative agents
We use a multi-agent approach to automatically perform cartographic generalisation, a task of the cartography domain that aims to simplify a digital map in order to produce another digital map with less details. Our agents are geographical objects such as houses, roads, rivers, etc. The agents interact so that each of them finds a new place and geometric representation that fits to the final map requirements. The principles of our approach are described here and some preliminary results are shown.
