Coastline generator: a tool for generating topographic tessellations around polygons and lines

Many citizen science projects that carry out survey tasks based on location require that the territory to be studied be fragmented into smaller areas with the objectives of, on the one hand, keeping a record of the level of coverage of the regions, and on the other hand, to present spatially bounded...

Muchos proyectos de ciencia ciudadana que llevan a cabo tareas de encuesta basadas en la ubicación requieren que el territorio que se va a estudiar se fragmente en zonas más pequeñas con los objetivos de, por un lado, mantener un registro del nivel de cobertura de las regiones y, por otro, presentar objetivos espacialmente delimitados a los voluntarios del proyecto. En algunos casos, las zonas de muestreo están relacionadas con una característica del terreno, como cuando se estudian las orillas de ríos y lagos. Por lo tanto, la segmentación mencionada debe respetar la forma topográfica del objeto geográfico a estudiar (río o lago).En este trabajo, este tipo de teselación se define como teselación topográfica (TT). Para construir el TT, es necesario indicar la distancia que debe tener de la orilla y las medidas específicas de cada área más pequeña. Este artículo presenta un marco para la generación automática de teselaciones topográficas, que son conjuntos de polígonos disjuntos y adyacentes que forman un mosaico siguiendo la forma de una geometría georreferenciada, y construye una nueva capa geográfica. Esta herramienta es útil para la toma de decisiones en la asignación de tareas espaciales. This paper is partially supported by funding provided by the STIC AmSud program, Project 22STIC-01.
