Title: A Harris Corner Detection Based Evaluation Method for SVG Visualization Conversion Effect
Abstract: With the development of mobile communication technologies,the demands of location-based spatial information services are more and more extensive in order for scientists to effectively obtain rich spatial information in mobile internet era anytime and anywhere,and SVG(Scalable Vector graphics) is becoming a hot application on data representation and organization in Location Based Services(LBS).However,few past researches focused on image quality assessment of the conversion from different spatial data format to SVG format.So in this context,according to the unique demand on SVG_based representation and organization for spatial data in LBS,this research put forward the conversion method and quality assessment method from multiple formats to SVG format.Firstly,by using of the directly loaded raster images and by running the vector data conversion programme,a valid conversion is achieved from multi-source spatial data formats to SVG format.Secondly,from the combination of qualitative and quantitative view,the comparison between the image quality before and after the conversion is analyzed.And,based on the design of corner detection index and evaluation processes,a Harris_corner detector method is proposed and verified to evaluate the transform result.The test shows that SVG_based representation is suited for spatial data in LBS,especially for the vector data,and the SVG image after conversion for either raster or vector data has a high image quality.As the JPG raster image is concerned,compared with the original image,the accuracy of the converted SVG image changed little,but the resolution of the converted SVG image is less than the original one.On the other hand,the accuracy and clarity of the converted vector data is similar to the original vector data.And the conversion of raster data is less effective than that of vector data,which shows that the corner detection technique on SVG transform is feasible.Further,it verifies a reliable SVG_based mobile location service information expression and spatial organization model,and helps to popularize and strengthen SVG application in LBS.
