SketchMapia: A Framework for Collaborative Mapping (SketchMapia)
Basic data for this project
Description
SketchMapia is a framework that contains the complete workflow of collection, recognition, interpretation, integration and visualization of sketch maps. In the context of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), SketchMapia employs sketch maps to contribute geographic information. It opens more capabilities of Geographic Information Systems (GISs) to the general public. In spite people who have difficulties to draw a map, all others can use the sketching interface that SketchMapia provides to produce user-generated spatial contents.However, due to human cognition, sketch maps are incomplete,distorted, schematized, and therefore not as accurate as metric maps. Thisproject develops a qualitative computational model to represent sketch mapsin a computer-understandable way. SketchMapia integrates information fromvarious sketch maps and metric maps into one data repository which can bequeried by users via a query-by-sketch interface. Finally, spatialinformation from sketch maps is integrated with quantitative data to berepresented on metric maps.
