Abstract
Vector data sets (e.g. maps) are currently major sources of displaying, querying, and identifying locations of spatial features in a variety of applications. Especially in mobile environment, the needs for using spatial data is increasing, and the relative large size of vector maps need to be smaller. Recently, there have been several studies about vector map compression. There was clustering-based compression method with novel encoding/decoding scheme. However, precedent studies did not consider that spatial data have to be updated periodically. This paper explores the problem of existing clustering-based compression method. We propose an adaptive approximation method that is capable of handling data updates as well as reducing error levels. Experimental evaluation showed that when an updated event occurred the proposed adaptive approximation method showed enhanced positional accuracy compared with simple cluster based compression method.
모바일 기기의 제한적 환경에서 공간데이터의 활용을 극대화하기 위해 벡터데이터의 압축에 대한 연구가 최근 이뤄지고 있다. 이 중 군집화 방법을 이용한 벡터데이터 압축은 기존 압축방법과 다른 새로운 형태로 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 연구는 데이터의 동적인 갱신이 고려되지 않았다. 본 연구는 기존의 군집화 방법을 이용한 벡터데이터 압축방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 데이터의 동적인 갱신이 고려된 압축 방법을 제시하였다. 실험을 통한 결과는 갱신이 발생하였을 경우 제안된 방법이 더 좋은 결과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.
