Abstract:
The presented research touches on the questions of digital cartography, particularly on automated map generalization in advanced geographic information systems. The aim of this article is the investigation and comparison of generalization processes of settlements at different detail levels. Two generalization models are described and verified at two different detail levels. On the basis of this the directions of future research are outlined.
