Generative adversarial networks to generalise urban areas in topographic maps
TLDR
This article presents how a generative adversarial network (GAN) can be employed to produce a generalised map that combines several cartographic themes in the dense context of urban areas, and highlights the impact of data and representation choices on the quality of predicted images, and the challenge of learning geographic relationships.Abstract:
. This article presents how a generative adversarial network (GAN) can be employed to produce a generalised map that combines several cartographic themes in the dense context of urban areas. We use as input detailed buildings, roads, and rivers from topographic datasets produced by the French national mapping agency (IGN), and we expect as output of the GAN a legible map of these elements at a target scale of 1:50,000. This level of detail requires to reduce the amount of information while preserving patterns; covering dense inner cities block by a unique polygon is also necessary because these blocks cannot be represented with enlarged individual buildings. The target map has a style similar to the topographic map produced by IGN. This experiment succeeded in producing image tiles that look like legible maps. It also highlights the impact of data and representation choices on the quality of predicted images, and the challenge of learning geographic relationships.read more

GANmapper: geographical data translation
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a new method to create spatial data using a generative adversarial network (GAN), which uses coarse and widely available geospatial data to create maps of less available features at the finer scale in the built environment.

Constraint-Based Evaluation of Map Images Generalized by Deep Learning
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose a method to adapt constraint-based evaluation to the images generated by deep learning models, which can help guide the learning process, compare different models, validate these models, and identify remaining problems in the output images.

Representing Vector Geographic Information As a Tensor for Deep Learning Based Map Generalisation
TL;DR: This article extracts some representation issues from a literature review and proposes different ways to represent vector geographic information as a tensor, and demonstrates the interest of some of the propositions with experiments that show a visual improvement for the generation of generalised topographic maps in urban areas.

Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks
TL;DR: Conditional Adversarial Network (CA) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose solution to image-to-image translation problems, which can be used to synthesize photos from label maps, reconstructing objects from edge maps, and colorizing images, among other tasks.

TL;DR: A new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely is proposed, which generalizes well to other tasks by applying it successfully to English constituency parsing both with large and limited training data.

Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks
TL;DR: This work presents an approach for learning to translate an image from a source domain X to a target domain Y in the absence of paired examples, and introduces a cycle consistency loss to push F(G(X)) ≈ X (and vice versa).

Generalization based on least squares adjustment
TL;DR: The paper presents solutions for generalization problems using least squares adjustment theory, a well known general framework to determine unknown parameters based on given observations, and demonstrates the validity of this approach to the simplification of building ground plans and the displacement of arbitrary cartographic objects.
