Structural Description of Contour Maps and Its Application to Weather Maps
Summary :
The class of contour map patterns, for example, isobar patterns on a weather map and a geographic elevation map, is an important class of pictorial data, the storage and retrieval management of which have serious implications in the context of an image data bank organization. In this context, we propose a structural tree description of contour maps after first introducing a model for a contour map and defining various concepts and ideas. This tree description has a property that its upper levels describe the structure of the global features of the contour map, while its lower levels describe the structure of the local features of contour clusters. From this tree description, we derive a string representation that contains the global features of the corresponding contour map. We then describe the implementation of these ideas in an automatic description and analysis system for weather map data. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the applications of the above ideas, the realization of the data storage structure and the retrieval procedures for weather maps.
