One of the objective is to define formally what is a map's
legend, and how to control it to allow user to give their
own style to a map. This work will be done at IRIT in direct
interaction with David Vanderhaeghe and with a strong link
with the other partners (regular meetings are planned along
the project).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The recruited person
will be in interaction with cartographers, the researchers
in geographic science of the IGN and also with computer
graphics researchers. The first step is to evaluate existing
legend models and improve them for semi-automatic legend
creation. The focus of the second step is automatic
information extraction to define legends from examples.
These examples could be maps or other images and feature
extraction could be extract a color palette or some
drawing's features from artistic pieces, comics or
photographs. It is a research work which will be validated
by scientific publications. This research work is linked
with the implementation of demos to allow the evaluation by
final user. The demos will be implemented with the free
software GeOxygene from the IGN. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
