Wang–Müller algorithm in PostGIS
|
||
--------------------------------
|
||
|
||
This is a work-in-progress implementation following "Line generalization based
|
||
on analysis of shape characteristics" by Wang and Müller, 1998 paper.
|
||
|
||
Structure
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
Detailed implementation description: `mj-msc.tex`. It is describing in detail
|
||
what is implemented and what isn't, and why.
|
||
|
||
Algorithm itself: `wm.sql`. This is the main file you probably want to look at.
|
||
|
||
Synthetic tests are in `tests.sql`. They are exercising various pieces of the
|
||
algorithm and asserting the results are what expect them to be.
|
||
|
||
Tests with real rivers are in `test-rivers.sql`.
|
||
|
||
`Makefile` glues everything together.
|
||
|
||
Executing the algorithm
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ make help
|
||
mj-msc-full.pdf Thesis for publishing
|
||
test Unit tests (fast)
|
||
test-rivers Rivers tests (slow)
|
||
clean Clean the current working directory
|
||
clean-tables Remove tables created during unit or rivers tests
|
||
help Print this help message
|
||
wc Character and page count
|
||
refresh-rivers Refresh rivers.sql from Open Street Maps
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To execute the algorithm, run:
|
||
|
||
- `make test` for tests with synthetic data.
|
||
- `make test-rivers` for tests with real rivers. You may adjust the rivers and
|
||
data source (e.g. use a different country instead of Lithuania) by changing
|
||
the `Makefile` and the test files.
|
||
|
||
Building the paper (pdf)
|
||
------------------------
|
||
|
||
`mj-msc.tex` results in `mj-msc-full.pdf`, which will be at some point
|
||
published. It needs quite a few dependencies, including a functioning Docker
|
||
environment.
