一种数据驱动的专题地图自动编制方法

A new approach for data-driven automatic rendering of thematic maps

针对传统专题地图制图过程耗时长、效率低的问题,提出了在Adobe Illustrator环境下进行数据驱动式的专题地图自动编制的方法。基于Mapbox Style Specification设计了专题地图渲染框架,并在该框架的基础上构建了专题地图自动编制的完整流程。以上海市长宁区的空间数据为测试数据,对专题地图自动编制的流程进行了实现。实验证明,基于专题地图渲染框架的地图自动编制能够有效提升专题制图的效率,并且能够有效地利用已有的制图知识,实现数据驱动式的批量制图。

According to the fact that the traditional thematic map rendering process is time-consuming and inefficient,a data-driven thematic map automatic rendering method in Adobe Illustrator is proposed.This paper designs a thematic map rendering framework based on the Mapbox Style Specification and builds a complete process of automatic rendering of thematic maps on the basis of this framework.Using the spatial data of Changning District in Shanghai as the test data,the process of automatic rendering of thematic maps was realized.The experiment shows that automatic map rendering based on thematic map rendering framework can effectively improve the efficiency of thematic cartography and can also effectively use the existing cartography knowledge to achieve data-driven batch mapping.
