Toward AI-Friendly Cartography: Understanding How Color Design Influences Foundation Model Spatial Reasoning on Sequential Choropleth Maps
Yonghe Sun, Zhenjia Liu, Hua Liao +4
Foundation models (FMs) increasingly support multimodal and geospatial reasoning, yet it remains unclear whether cartographic principles designed for human perception are equally e…
Evolving Thematic Map Design in Academic Cartography: A Thirty-Year Study Based on Multilingual Journals
Zhiwei Wei, Chenxi Song, Tazhu Wang +4
Thematic maps play a central role in academic communication, yet their large-scale design evolution has rarely been examined empirically. This study presents a longitudinal and mul…
From Static to Dynamic: Evaluating the Perceptual Impact of Dynamic Elements in Urban Scenes via MLLM-Guided Generative Inpainting
Zhiwei Wei, Mengzi Zhang, Boyan Lu +3
Understanding urban perception from street view imagery has become a central topic in urban analytics and human centered urban design. However, most existing studies treat urban sc…
Using a negative spatial auto-correlation index to evaluate and improve intrinsic TagMap's multi-scale visualization capabilities
Zhiwei Wei, Nai Yang
The popularity of tag clouds has sparked significant interest in the geographic research community, leading to the development of map-based adaptations known as intrinsic tag maps.…
Optimized 3D Point Labeling with Leaders Using the Beams Displacement Method
Zhiwei Wei, Nai Yang, Wenjia Xu +4
In three-dimensional geographical scenes, adding labels with leader lines to point features can significantly improve their visibility. Leadered labels have a large degree of freed…
