simplification
See Also: generalization
[map design] A type of cartographic generalization in which the important characteristics of features are determined and unwanted detail is eliminated to retain clarity on a map whose scale has been reduced.
Network simplification for water distribution systems
After building a water distribution model from comprehensive GIS and CAD datasets, ...
Simplification
Generalization is not a process that only removes and selects data, but also a process that simplifies it as well.
Simplification is a common theme in discussions of interoperability-simplification in the complex collections of formats and standards in the industry, simplification in the interaction between user and system, ...

The simplification of correlation into a single parameter made it easier to fit historical data on mortgage default risk correlation to a tractable model.
Though this is a simplification of more complicated scheme, latitude and altitude approximate a good representation of the distribution of biodiversity within the biosphere.
Generalisation The simplification of reality or reduction of detail. Generalize 1. Reduce the number of points, or vertices, used to represent a line.
2. Increase the cell size and resample data in a raster format GIS.
It is very important to be aware of the scale of a given spatial data source as the degree of simplification and reduction involved in the representation of spatial features tends to increase as scale decreases.
The thinning of coordinates is also required in the map generalization process of linear simplification. Linear simplification is one component of generalization that is required when data from one scale, e.g.
This simplification is both conceptual and practical: it reduces grid operations to operations on rectangular arrays of numbers.
For the evaluation of the terrain-correction integral some simplification can be applied. Firstly, the earth's crust can be considered to be homogeneous. Due to this simplification the previous integral can be written in convolution-form:
(3) ...
This is perchance a gross simplification of the big picture. Read through this Section for more details. And watch for continual updates - so much is happening now.
classification of selected features into groups (i.e. bridges, churches, railways)
simplification of jagged lines like coastlines
exaggeration of features to be included that are to small to show at the scale of the map ...
In fact, we don't need 60 different grades of 'Proximity to Donut Shops' Though more is better, I'd say that being near 4 donut shops is as good as being near 60. To reflect this simplification in our model, ...
Only at a scale of 1:1 could physical data be depicted at its true size and in complete detail. As use of this scale is rarely practical, all features and thematic data shown on a map must undergo a process of simplification, ...
Graphic generalization involves simplification, enlargement, displacement or merging of the geometric symbols.
Future Space Station Operations: Among the many benefits that may be realized by space users of GPS in the future will be simplification of systems supporting critical rendezvous operations and navigation of "Free Fliers" near the International Space ...
