AbstractThe Automatic Generalization of the Multiscale Geographic Information Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management Author(s): Marco Moreno, Miguel Torres, Seguei Levachkine, Ivan Fajardo The following research has been developed to solve one of the basic problems in cartography, "generalization." To modify the scale of vector layers from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000 of automatically processing requires a GIS. In a certain sense, it is possible to solve it in a universal way, but in this case, the generalization would not satisfy the topologic particularities, logic and geometry of certain objects. On the other hand the main idea of the work was to develop solution applicable to specific cases. Vector layers are hydrological networks and contours. The implementation of all algorithms as made in ArcInfo. Marco Moreno Centro de Investigación en Computación, IPN Geoprocessing Laboratory Av. Juan de Dios Bátiz s/n esq.
