Line generalisation by repeated elimination of points (1993)
Journal Article
Visvalingam, M., & Whyatt, J. D. (1993). Line generalisation by repeated elimination of points. The Cartographic journal, 30(1), 46-51. https://doi.org/10.1179/000870493786962263

This paper presents a new approach to line generalisation which uses the concept of ‘effective area’ for progressive simplification of a line by point elimination. Two coastlines are used to compare the performance of this, with that of the widely us... Read More about Line generalisation by repeated elimination of points.

Cartographic Algorithms: Problems of Implementation and Evaluation and the Impact of Digitising Errors (1991)
Journal Article
Whyatt, J. D., & Visvalingam, M. (1991). Cartographic Algorithms: Problems of Implementation and Evaluation and the Impact of Digitising Errors. Computer graphics forum : journal of the European Association for Computer Graphics, 10(3), 225-235. https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8659.1030225

Cartographic generalisation remains one of the outstanding challenges in digital cartography and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). It is generally assumed that computerisation will lead to the removal of spurious variability introduced by the s...

Approaches to the optimizing control problem (1988)
Journal Article
Ellis, J. E., Kambhampati, C., Sheng, G., & Roberts, P. D. (1988). Approaches to the optimizing control problem. International Journal of Systems Science, 19(10), 1969-1985. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207728808964092

The selection of the steady-state controls which enable a system to operate in an optimum manner is the optimizing control problem. An examination of direct and adaptive model-based approaches to this problem is made. In the direct approach, system m... Read More about Approaches to the optimizing control problem.

The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data (1981)
Journal Article
Visvalingam, M. (1981). The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data. The Cartographic journal, 18(1), 32-43. https://doi.org/10.1179/caj.1981.18.1.32

Several polychotomous characteristics, when expressed in chi-score form, exhibit distributions in property space which deviate from the inherent assumptions of the more commonly used methods of cluster analysis. This paper suggests a novel approach t... Read More about The signed Chi-score measure for the classification and mapping of polychotomous data.

Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique (1976)
Journal Article
Visvalingam, M. (1976). Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique. Software: Practice and Experience, 6(3), 397-403. https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.4380060313

The paper describes the coded delta scheme, which is one of the methods used by the Census Research Unit, University of Durham, for compacting the 1971 U.K. census data. It evaluates the merits and limitations of the technique in relation to the char... Read More about Indexing with coded deltas—a data compaction technique.

Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments
Presentation / Conference
Wright, H., & Chatzinikos, F. Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments. Paper presented at Visualization and Data Analysis 2003

Recent improvements in processor and graphics power mean researchers can now interact with their running simulation at the same time as they view the results. This so-called 'computational steering' brings greater insight to the investigation process... Read More about Enabling multipurpose image interaction in modular visualization environments.

Integrating the DIS standards into a fully-immersive simulation application
Presentation / Conference
Cruz-Neira, C., Courter, D., & Springer, J. Integrating the DIS standards into a fully-immersive simulation application

Fully-immersive applications in a distributed environment play an increasing role for training and simulation related areas. The Distributed Interactive Simulation protocols were created to ensure interoperability across participating sites. However,...
