Proceedings of the meeting on Research based on Ordnance Survey small-scales digital data
Presentation / Conference Contribution
(1986, January). Proceedings of the meeting on Research based on Ordnance Survey small-scales digital data. Presented at Annual Conference of the Institute of British Geographers, Reading

Preface:
Ordnance Survey digital data captured from 1:50 000 or smaller scale source maps will differ from the coded features of the large scale data in that it will be node structured and should thus support research of a methodological and applied...

Sketch-based evaluation of line filtering algorithms
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Visvalingam, M. (2000, October). Sketch-based evaluation of line filtering algorithms. Paper presented at GIScience 2000, Savannah, Georgia

CISRG research into algorithmic sketching seeks to revive interest in the lost art of landscape drawing as practised by Holmes,
Lobeck, Raisz and others. Dowson (1994) and Visvalingam and Dowson (1998) developed the P-stroke style for sketching.
V... Read More about Sketch-based evaluation of line filtering algorithms.

Bloch's function D for weighted effective areas : impact of tuning parameters
Book
Visvalingam, M. Bloch's function D for weighted effective areas : impact of tuning parameters

Abstract When Visvalingam’s algorithm was first presented, it was noted that it could be driven with any metric to suit different purposes, types of features and degrees of generalisation. It was illustrated with the concept of the effective area (EA... Read More about Bloch's function D for weighted effective areas : impact of tuning parameters.

Geometric data for testing implementations of point reduction algorithms : case study using Mapshaper v 0.2.28 and previous versions
Book
Visvalingam, M. Geometric data for testing implementations of point reduction algorithms : case study using Mapshaper v 0.2.28 and previous versions

There are several open source and commercial implementations of the Visvalingam algorithm for line generalisation. The algorithm provides scope for implementation-specific interpretations, with different outcomes. This is inevitable and sometimes nec...

There are a growing number of open source and commercial implementations of the Visvalingam algorithm for line generalisation. The algorithm provides scope for implementation-specific interpretations, with different outcomes. This is inevitable and s...
