摘要/Abstract

摘要：

地形可视化是地图服务中刻画地貌特征与地表形态的核心表现形式，当前地形可视化存在专业性强、场景不适配等问题，难以满足多元化的地图服务需求。本文提出一种面向三维地形可视化的多智能体方法，将地形可视化设计过程拆解为阴影样式智能体（HSAgent）、分级设色智能体（CRAgent）及样式评估智能体（EAgent），实现用户意图分析、制图策略推理、自我迭代优化与在线可视化输出的协同流程。在预设场景和自由场景下进行案例测试，涵盖生成式和修订式任务，并开展主观视觉评价和场景匹配问卷调查进行验证。结果表明，本文方法能够实现地形样式的快速设计，在视觉表现和功能支撑上优于ArcGIS Pro生成的样式，且在不同场景下具有良好的泛化效果，为在线地形可视化提供了一种高效且具备通用性的技术路径。

Abstract:

Terrain visualization is a core component of map services for representing landforms and surface characteristics. However, existing terrain visualization methods are often highly specialized and poorly adapted to diverse application scenarios, which limits their ability to meet the growing demands of map services. This study proposes a multi-agent 3D terrain visualization method, in which the terrain design process is decomposed into a hillshade agent (HSAgent), a color-relief agent (CRAgent), and a evaluation agent (EAgent). The proposed method supports user intent analysis, cartographic strategy reasoning, iterative self-optimization, and online visualization output in a coordinated workflow. Case tests were carried out in preset scenes and free scenes, covering generative and revised tasks, and subjective visual evaluation and scene matching questionnaire survey were carried out for verification. The results show that this method can realize the rapid design of terrain style, which is superior to the style generated by ArcGIS Pro in visual performance and functional support, and has good generalization effect in different scenarios. It provides an efficient and versatile technical path for online terrain visualization.

场景	设计特点与原则	高程配色建议/示例
自然生态环境	参考环境相关的连续色带^[48]，低值区突出草地与自然生态特征，高值区逐步过渡至浅黄或棕色
儿童趣味科普	高程分级适中，等级含义清晰，避免细碎分级，要符合儿童的视觉习惯
无人机低空经济	空域飞行范围设定为[0，3000]m，其中近地活动层（非管制空域）
	如[0，120）m、[120，300）m采用精细分级；[300，3000]（管制空域）
	可采用较粗分级，呈现可用空间与非可用空间的颜色层次

指标范畴	评价指标	指标内涵
Hillshade	视觉平衡性	评估阴影整体效果：①夸张度评估：避免极端值。②颜色对比：阴影色与高光色的对比度是否恰当，如避免阴影比高光亮度高的情况
	坡度清晰度	检查accent-color与阴影/高光的亮度差异是否合适，避免强调色无效（与高光/阴影太接近）
	光源合理性	光源方向、亮部/暗部的色调与亮度关系是否自然可信，如避免冷色亮部、暖色暗部的情况
Color-relief	层级辨识度	层级辨识度基于色带的分段数量与高程覆盖范围进行估计。若覆盖范围较广但是分段数量极少，则分数偏低
	色彩协调度	相邻颜色RGB距离是否适中，避免存在差异过小或过大的极端情况，距离过低（区分不明显）或过高（色彩跳跃）都会降低分数
	色彩平滑度	基于相邻色段在CIELab空间中的色差（ΔE）进行估计，使配色更符合人眼感知^[49]
冲突检测	配色冲突检测	阴影颜色与色带色彩是否出现极近或近互补的色相冲突
冲突检测	不透明度冲突检测	色带不透明度是否过高导致阴影信息被遮挡
