Abstract:

Mass of data in geochemical,geophysical,geological,seismological and other aspects were collected for the national active fault database system in the Tenth Five-Year Plan.How to make use of these mass of data to produce thematic map for government's decision making in urban development planning,land use, significant engineering site selection and providing the scientific basis for urban earthquake resistance and disaster mitigation has become an issue worth studying.Automatic cartography solves this problem well.By summarizing,we find that most of present researches in automatic cartography care much about cartography process itself,rarely involve property and spatial data inspection. Thus, it is hard to ensure the accuracy of data and may lead to a drop in quality of automatic cartography.Firstly,this paper discusses the process of automatic cartography.Secondly,considering the actual situation of urban active fault detecting project,we propose to add inspection of automatic cartography and topology check to guarantee the quality of cartography.Thirdly,further research is done in the principle of automatic matching and topology checking to develop a feasible process for automatic matching and topology checking.Finally,a system is designed to realize the function of automatic matching.The techniques and methods used in this system have important reference value in mapping automation in other areas,such as climate,geography,resources and land use,etc.

Key words: active fault, automatic cartography, automatic matching, topology checking

摘要：

地图制图的自动化可以大大提高制图的效率和规范性。如何实现高质量的自动化制图成为地理信息科学重要的研究内容之一。文中探讨了自动化制图的流程; 结合城市活动断层探测项目的实际情况,提出了增加自动匹配检查、拓扑检查两项辅助技术,用以保障制图质量; 最后,设计系统实现了活动断层制图的自动化。系统所采用的技术和方法,对于其他如气候、地理、资源以及土地利用等领域的自动化制图有着重要的参考价值。
