Emphasizing map generalization algorithmic foundation of multi scale spatial representation addresses the mathematical basis of multi scale representation specifically the algorithmic foundation using easy to understand language the author focuses on geometric transformations with each chapter surveying a particular spatial feature. Providing a thorough treatment of low level algorithms algorithmic foundation of multi scale spatial representation supplies the mathematical groundwork for multi scale representations of spatial. With the widespread use of gis multi scale representation has become an important issue in the realm of spatial data handling however no book to date has systematically tackled the different aspects of this discipline emphasizing map generalization algorithmic foundation of multi scale spatial representation addresses the mathematical basis of
