In GIS area, many line simplification algorithms are studied among generalization methods used for making the building data in the form of digital map from the original line data. On the other hand, there are few studies on the simplification algorithm considering the drawing rules of the digital map in Korea. In this paper, the line simplification algorithm based on the drawing rules is proposed as the methodology to create or update the building data of digital map by extracting the building outline from the CAD data used in construction. To confirm the usefulness of the algorithm, this algorithm and four other effective and general line simplification algorithms (e.g., Douglas-Peucker algorithm) are applied to the same building outlines. Then, the five algorithms are compared on five criteria, the satisfaction degree of the drawing rules, shape similarity, the change rate of the number of points, total length of lines, and the area of polygon. As a result, the proposed algorithm shows the 100% of satisfaction degree to the drawing rules. Also, there is little loss in four other mentioned criteria. Thus, the proposed algorithm in this paper is judged to be effective in updating the building data in digital map with construction drawings.

The line simplification method based on the turning function is studied in this paper for conversion of ground plan data to geospatial data to update the digital map. This method eliminate vertices effectively by estimating the length and the angle between the vertices based on the turning function which is useful to express the shape of linear feature. As the result, this method shows high shape similarity, high elimination rate of vertices and 100% of satisfaction degree to the drawing rules. Thus this line simplification method is judged to be effective in updating the digital map with ground plans.

There is a recent emphasis on the need for updating and revision of existing digital maps as more digital maps are used and produced. Various type of data sources, such as photographs, ground surveyed data and satellite images, are used in the revision and the updating process. The process is very time consuming and costly, especially for small regional areas. This study, attempts to present an effective update/revision method using the as-built surveying drawings and the accuracy of the digital map which has been updated and revised using this method was also investigated. This study showed that by using as-built surveying drawings of scale 1/1,200 to update a digital map of scale 1/1,000, the resulting accuracy satisfied the requirements of the national digital map accuracy specification for the corresponding scale. The necessity of the existence of the necessary drawings and maps is a requirement of this process and it is also suggested that densification of local control points especially in the urban areas is necessary for producing accurate as-built surveying drawings. This would require the establishment of rules and regulations which would require constructions to perform as-built surveying, immediately after the construction has been completed.
