Digital vector maps must be compressed effectively for transmission or storage in Web GIS (geographic information system) and mobile GIS applications. This paper presents a polyline compression method that consists of polyline feature-based hybrid simplification and second derivative-based data compression. Experimental results verify that our method has higher simplification and compression efficiency than conventional methods and produces good quality compressed maps.

This paper presents a GIS vector map data compression scheme based on hybrid polyline simplification method and SEC(spatial energy compaction). The proposed method extracts all layers which contain polylines in the GIS vector map and compress all polylines in extracted layers by the hybrid polyline simplification and SEC based on MAE(minimum area error) for each segment in the line. The proposed simplification and SEC increase the compression ratio while preserving the shape quality. We analyze the visual aspects and compression efficiency between the original GIS vector map and the compressed map. From experimental results, we verify that our method has the higher compression efficiency and visual quality than conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for trajectory recovery. Our system uses a triangulation procedure for skeletonization and graph theory to extract the trajectory. Skeletonization extracts the polyline skeleton according to the polygonal contours of the handwritten characters, and as a result, the junction becomes clear and the characters that are touching each other are separated. The approach for the trajectory recovery is based on graph theory to find the optimal path in the graph that has the best representation of the trajectory. An undirected graph model consisting of one or more strokes is constructed from a polyline skeleton. By using the polyline skeleton, our approach accelerates the process to search for an optimal path. In order to evaluate the performance, we built our own dataset, which includes testing and ground-truth. The dataset consist of thousands of handwritten characters and word images, which are extracted from five handwritten documents. To show the relative advantage of our skeletonization method, we first compare the results against those from Zhang-Suen, a state-of-the-art skeletonization method. For the trajectory recovery, we conduct a comparison using the Root Means Square Error (RMSE) and Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) in order to measure the error between the ground truth and the real output. The comparison reveals that our approach has better performance for both the skeletonization stage and the trajectory recovery stage. Moreover, the processing time comparison proves that our system is faster than the existing systems.

This paper proposes a robust watermarking scheme for GIS digital map by using the geometric properties of polyline and polygon, which are the fundamental components in vector data structure. In the proposed scheme, we calculate the lengths and the perimeters of all polylines and polygons in a map and cluster them to a number of groups. Then we embed the binary watermark by changing the mean of lengths and perimeters in an embedding group. For improving the safety and robustness, we permute the binary watermark through PRNS(pseudo-random number sequence) processing and embed it repeatedly in a model. Experimental results verified that our scheme has a good invisibility, safety and robustness to various geometric attacks and also our scheme needs not the original map in the extracting process of watermark.

Recently, vector map has developed, used in many domains, and in most cases vector map data contains confidential information which must be kept away from unauthorized users. Moreover, the manufacturing process of a vector map is complex and the maintenance of a digital map requires substantial monetary and human resources. This paper presents the selective encryption scheme based on polyline simplification methods for GIS vector map data protection to store, transmit or distribute to authorized users. Main advantages of our algorithm are random vertices and transformation processes but it still meets requirements of security by random processes, and this algorithm can be implement to many types of vector map formats.

Recently the commercial value of GIS(geographic information system) has been increased with growing application demands of spatial information in life space. Also, GIS has been expanded to the integrated information system that provides the ease access to map information by public users and also the combined service of GIS map data and various multimedia contents. But several security problems of GIS map data have brought up at GIS industries, such as the illegal copy and distribution of GIS map data. Furthermore, the copyright protection of GIS map data has not been researched yet compared with image and video contents. This paper presents a polyline based watermarking scheme for the copyright protection of GIS vector map. The proposed scheme analyzes the structure of vector map and embeds adaptively the watermark by using the distance distribution of polyline components. From experimental results, we verified that the proposed scheme satisfies the invisibility and the robustness of geometrical attacks.

A CAD design drawing based on vector data that is very important art work in industrial fields has been considered to content that the copyright protection is urgently needed. This paper presents a watermarking scheme based on k-means++ for CAD design drawing. One CAD design drawing consists of several layers and each layer consists of various geometric objects such as LINE, POLYLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, 3DFACE and POLYGON. POLYLINE with LINE, 3DFACE and ARC that are fundamental objects make up the majority in CAD design drawing. Therefore, the proposed scheme selects the target object with high distribution among POLYLINE, 3DFACE and ARC objects in CAD design drawing and then selects layers that include the most target object. Then we cluster the target objects in the selected layers by using k-means++ and embed the watermark into the geometric distribution of each group. The geometric distribution is the normalized length distribution in POLYLINE object, the normalized area distribution in 3DFACE object and the angle distribution in ARC object. Experimental results verified that the proposed scheme has the robustness against file format converting, layer attack as well as various geometric editing provided in CAD editing tools.

최근접 객체 질의(Nearest Neighbor Query)는 질의가 요청된 지점으로부터 가장 가까운 객체를 찾는 질 의로 위치기반 서비스 분야에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 질의의 형태이다. 이를 기반으로 한 지역 최근접 객체 질의 (Range Nearest Neighbor), 연속 최근접 객체 질의(Continuos Nearest Neighbor)등의 확장 된 개념으로 다양한 최근접 객체 질의가 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 지금까지의 최근접 객체 질의를 기반으로 한 연구들은 점으로 표현된 질의를 기준으로 하여 최근접 객체를 찾는 기준점 최근접 객체(Point Nearest Neighbor) 질의를 기반으로 하고 있어, 점으로 표현이 불가능한 1 차원 형태의 질의에 대하여 효과적인 최근접 객체를 검색하는 연구는 연구된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 한 개 이상의 1 차원 형태의 선분으로 이루어진 질의에 대하여 질의 주변의 객체 중 최근접 객체를 찾는 다중선 최근접 객체 질의 (Polyline Nearest Neighbor)를 정의하고 효과적인 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법의 성능 분석을 위한 실험은 객체와 질의가 다양한 형태로 분포되어 있는 환경아래 진행되었으며, 실험 결과는 기대 값과 근접한 결과 값을 얻었다.

Most of current watermarking algorithms for GIS vector data embed copyright information by means of modifying the coordinate values, which will do harm to its quality and accuracy. To preserve the fidelity of vector line data and protect its copyright at the same time, a lossless watermarking algorithm is proposed based on storage feature in this paper. Firstly, the superiority of embedding watermark based on storage feature is demonstrated theoretically and technically. Then, the basic concepts and operations on storage feature have been defined including length and angle of the polyline feature. In the process of embedding watermark, the watermark information is embedded into directions of polyline feature by the quantitative mechanism, while the positions of embedding watermark are determined by the feature length. Hence, the watermark can be extracted by the same geometric features without original data or watermark. Finally, experiments have been conducted to show that coordinate values remain unchanged after embedding watermark. Moreover, experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
