# Ideas for internships or student projects This document compiles ideas that could be used as topics for future master internships, or student projects, within the LostInZoom project. ## Demonstrate the usefulness of progressive map generalisation ### Generate multi-scale progressive generalisations of road and river networks *5-6 months master intern (Guillaume+Justin)* Generate networks from zoom level 16 to 6 with CartAGen. Python port? QGIS plugin? ### Is it useful to have intermediate scales and continuous style to explore a multi-scale map? *ENSG research project (Guillaume-Justin)* Follow-up of the project by Clarisse and Amandine, this time with tiles. * Same task? * Same map extent (or entire France)? ### Measure the impact of progressive generalisation vs minimal generalisation (e.g. OSM or Plan IGN) during a zoom *5-6 months master intern (Guillaume+Justin)* The problem is not here to assess the usefulness of intermediate scales when we want to use these intermediate scales as the decision scales. We want to assess the role of intermediate scales as facilitators to explore multi-scale maps: they should improve memory and reduce the amount of zooming. * Work on a complete map or just on specific layers? The layers should be generalised prior to the internship. * What task can be designed to measure this impact? ## Multi-scale anchors ## Deep learning pattern recognition ### Multi-scale recognition of important cities in a map *ENSG research project (Guillaume-Quentin)* Find the pixels in a map image that belong to an important city based on the images at several scales. ## Zooming interactions and animations
