Who is it for?
National Mapping Agencies, Commercial Mapping Agencies and any data providers that need to repurpose their data whilst maintaining data quality.
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.
The tool set in Radius Clarity enables small-scale digital data to be automatically derived from large-scale source data. Its approach to generalisation is based on intelligent software Agents, a technology developed by the ESPRIT project number 24939.
It employs agent technology; in a breakthrough unique to Radius Clarity, 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.
Usually a human cartographer presented with conflicts uses skill and subjectivity to compromise between the appearance of features and produce a satisfactory solution; Radius Clarity applies equivalent intelligence to reach an equivalent solution automatically, whilst maintaining consistently high data quality.
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.
Radius Clarity enables you to:
- Be more competitive by delivering the most up-to-date products - map products can be updated more frequently through automation
- Reduce maintenance costs and effort by reducing the number of scale dependent databases that need to be individually maintained
- Guarantee that data at different scales is always synchronised – many products can be updated by modifying a single database
- Improve customer satisfaction by ensuring that products are up to date and consistent across all scales.
- Open up new sales by introducing new products to suit market needs - automation allows you to deliver more products without the need for lots of additional manual effort.
- Produce consistent results through rules enforcement - automated generalisation reduces the inconsistent results that can occur with manual generalisation.
