Description:Numerous definitions and theories pertaining to cartographic generalization have been introduced by geographers and cartographers during the past century. In this paper, both manual and computer-assisted approaches to the process of linear and feature simplification are described and compared. Particular emphasis is placed on computer-assisted algorithms pertaining to vector data manipulation; specifically, systematic point elimination algorithms. In addition, several line smoothing algorithms are briefly discussed.
