Art Topographic Maps And Its Discussion On Methodology

With the development of science, technology and people’s living standard. To use atopographic map are not only limited professional and technical personnel. More and morenon-professional started to pay attention and use topographic maps(for example: to use atopographic maps to find Tourist Attractions and find the right way to someplace). But thetraditional topographic maps specialization are very strong, have a high level of abstraction,and scope are very small. these factors are restricting the further development and promotionof topographic maps. As a new concept of art topographic maps, it visualize colors anddelicate terrain express an image of non-professionals. To make up for the shortcomings ofthe traditional topographic expression.In this paper, starting by theory, explores the concept of art topographic maps,topographic characteristics and related production technology, then investigate arttopographic maps of the three main elements of the preparation, the three main containssymbols,annotation, color art methods. Proposed two methods of preparation of topographicmaps of art: how to refinement and beautification. In the instance of Ansai county area of theoriginal topographic to make art map topographic maps, presented the means of remotesensing image, site photographs, plans and other information to terrain artistic approach(suchas roads, squares, green spaces, houses, water), use art scene and squares as examples,elaborated specific topographic maps artistic process. Finally, in artistic production oftopographic maps, it is necessary to respect the mathematical basis of the original topographicmaps, also combine with multiple data and based on the reality of the need for flexibleapplication topographic art methods, produce a precise and elegant art topographic maps.
