ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: This article focuses on the results achieved so far from the investigation of the possibility of applying morphing techniques in the cartographic generalization procedure. It is related with the research framework aiming to the creation of a multi-scale Greek spatial database. The basic questions we investigate are: a) is it possible to use morphing techniques for cartographic generalization in order to produce or to contribute in the production of generalized maps? If yes, how and to what extend the morphing techniques can be useful in the multiscale spatial databases creation? b) If no, is it possible the morphing techniques to help indirectly in other ways in the creation of multi-scale spatial database and in the generalization process?
