Since the digital chart consists of a large number of points, the effective method for the coastline data compression(CDC), storing the data compactly and reproducting the coastline feature accurately, is important. In the CDC, the key technique is to determine the optimal positions as node points in given coastlines. In this paper, a new CDC method, selecting node points with conspicuous coast positions in the view point on navigation and adopting spline interpolation to the nodes partly, is proposed. Using the northern part of KEOJE-DO coastline in Korean chart No.204, CDC experiments are carrie out with various compression ratio. The results fro the influence of coastline shape according to various CDC methods are discussed and presented.
