AGNES – Automated generalisation/derivation of geological spatial data

Until now, the BGR’s geological general map series of different scales were not connected to each other in terms of data technology. Accordingly, the GK1000 (Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:1,000,000) was previously generated manually from the GÜK250 / GÜK200 (The General Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:250,000 / 1:200,000). Within the framework of the AGNES (Automated generalisation/derivation of geological spatial data) project, the generalisation tool “AutoGen” of the State Office for Geology, Raw Materials and Mining in Baden-Württemberg (LGRB) has been adapted using the above-mentioned two general maps, so that a largely automated derivation of small-scale spatial data from large-scale spatial data is possible. The talk will give an overview of the results of the AGNES project and the tool “AutoGen” as well as an outlook on further work in the future.
