It primarily focuses on three types of sketch maps: landmark-likeness, route-likeness, and survey-likeness, each characterized by distinct features and spatial relationships. The study systematically compares bidimensional regression (BDR), order relationship of regions along roads, and SketchMapia, assessing their capabilities in identifying and quantifying errors in sketch maps. By applying these methods to real sketch maps, the thesis aims to develop a comprehensive evaluation criteria, providing insights and practical recommendations for selecting appropriate methods based on specific map characteristics. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of spatial knowledge acquisition and the practical applications of sketch map analysis in geographic information systems.engSketch mappingmaster thesis203572572
