  • Geospatial visualization performance improvement for contiguous polylines with similar dynamic characteristics
    Patent number: 9635137
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for rendering geographic information system (GIS) data. A server component responding to a request for GIS data for a given area combines contiguous elements that share the same dynamic characteristics. For example, a map server may combine the polylines of contiguous road segments sharing the same current speed/congestion conditions. Doing so may greatly reduce the number of individual polylines that are sent to a client for rendering.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2017
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION
    Inventors: Curtis H. Brobst, James P. Cantwell, Magda M. Mourad
