PR - Institut Geographique National (IGN) France is the French national mapping
agency whose mission is to describe the national territory and its land cover,
using this for any relevant representations and transmitting the corresponding
information. IGN offers a wide range of geographical information services and
products to local authorities and government departments, businesses and the
general public.
IGN France has previously used 1Spatial’s automated
generalisation technology to create 1:100,000 mapping from its database at
1:50,000, and for research and development work. This new project will see
1Spatial deliver a new version of Radius Clarity (v2.7), featuring algorithms
for building and road generalisation that have been tailored specifically to be
fit for use within an automated production flowline. It will also deliver
enhancements to Radius Clarity's current user interface and will consolidate the
developments made during previous projects using Radius Clarity, into a single
version of the product. The framework contract allows for the equipment of up to
100 users within the next four years.
Radius Clarity is 1Spatial’s
platform for automated generalisation. It provides the facilities to build
automated generalisation production flowlines and an environment to develop and
research new generalisation algorithms. By employing Agent technology, advanced
artificial intelligence techniques have been introduced into the map production
process. The agents enable the automated map production process to capture
context sensitivity during processing. Radius Clarity’s unique technology offers
users the opportunity to derive new mapping products from existing data, to
speed up the cartographic generalisation process and to reduce manual errors and
inconsistencies within products.
