摘要： Systems and methods for integrating maps in which roads are represented as polylines. The main novelty of the invention is in using only the locations of the endpoints of the polylines rather than trying to match whole lines. Experiments on real-world data are given, showing that this approach of integration based on matching merely endpoints is efficient and accurate (that is, it provides high recall and precision).

摘要： When a guiding route is included in a display target region at a photograph display mode, route data of the guiding route is also read. Within the read route data, information of a region for editing a photograph is stored. This information includes a road kind (color information), coordinates of the start/end points of the road, and a road width when editing is for a road. Next, photograph data is read, so that a color of the photograph data is edited based on the stored information of the route data. For instance, a color of the photograph data in a corresponding road region is changed to red that represents “national road.”

摘要： A method, system and device for controlling a display are disclosed. Data is examined, which correspond to an image to be shown with the display. Upon determining that said data comprise a critical item corresponding to an element of the image, the critical item is shown with an uncluttered view. Non-critical items corresponding to elements of the image are attempted to be shown as well, such that the critical item is not obscured and the image remains uncluttered.

摘要： The present invention is a method for generating cartograms using a base map of contiguous polygons and a vector containing values to which areas of corresponding polygons are scaled. The general problem is intractable, so an iterative heuristic is proposed. The heuristic is based on “scanlines.” The scanlines may be defined automatically (typically, by placing a grid over the map) or entered manually (to provide finer control over the results). At each step, one scanline is chosen and a new candidate map is made by adjusting the vertices of polygons intersected by the scanline, moving them orthogonally to the scanline. A candidate solution is accepted if it improves the solution and preserves the input mesh's topology. Improvement depends on metrics for area and shape error. The solver is run until the improvement falls below some threshold, or a time limit or maximum number of iterations is reachedThe method determines shape error created by a candidate iterative step by first estimating a curvature function of the polygon and then performing a Fourier transform on the function to yield a shape representation that is relatively independent of scale, translation and rotation of the polygon. The proposed iterative step is accepted or discarded based in part on the magnitude of the resulting shape error.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种使用邻接多边形的基本映射生成图形的方法，以及包含对应多边形的区域进行缩放的值的向量的方法。 一般的问题是棘手的，所以提出了迭代启发式。 启发式是基于“扫描线”。 可以自动定义扫描线（通常通过在地图上放置网格）或手动输入扫描线（以便对结果提供更好的控制）。 在每个步骤中，选择一条扫描线，并通过调整与扫描线相交的多边形的顶点，将它们与扫描线正交移动，从而形成新的候选图。 如果改进解决方案并保留输入网格的拓扑，则接受候选解决方案。 改进取决于面积和形状误差的度量。 解算器运行直到改进低于某个阈值，或者达到时间限制或最大迭代次数。该方法通过首先估计多边形的曲率函数然后对该多边形进行傅立叶变换，来确定由候选迭代步骤产生的形状误差 用于产生相对独立于多边形的尺度，平移和旋转的形状表示。 部分地基于所得到的形状误差的大小来接受或丢弃所提出的迭代步骤。

摘要： A map display apparatus includes a map data memory which stores map data necessary for plotting a map of a predetermined region; a map display which reads map data out of the map data memory and plots a bird's-eye view display by projecting the map data read out from the map data memory onto a projection plane which makes a projection angle with a plane of the map data read out from the map data memory, the projection angle being greater than 0° and less than 90°, the bird's-eye view display including identifying marks which identify items in the bird's-eye view display; and an identifying mark overlap preventer which prevents identifying marks from overlapping one another in the bird's-eye view display.

摘要： A visually reinforced learning and memorization system combines the coordination of alphabetic mnemonics, number integers and colors to provide the user with multiple mechanisms for learning memorizing information. The memorization system is particularly suited for memorizing geographic information, which can be surveyed using a diamond-based coordinate system that can be subdivided to increasingly small points.
