Optimized 3D Point Labeling with Leaders Using the Beams Displacement Method
<|reference_start|>Optimized 3D Point Labeling with Leaders Using the Beams Displacement Method: In three-dimensional geographical scenes, adding labels with leader lines to point features can significantly improve their visibility. Leadered labels have a large degree of freedom in position con-figuration, but existing methods are mostly based on limited position candidate models, which not only fail to effectively utilize the map space but also make it difficult to consider the relative relationships between labels. Therefore, we conceptualize the dynamic configuration process of computing label positions as akin to solving a map displacement problem. We use a triangulated graph to delineate spatial relationships among labels and calculate the forces exerted on labels considering the constraints associated with point feature labels. Then we use the Beams Displacement Method to iteratively calculate new positions for the labels. Our experimental outcomes demonstrate that this method effectively mitigates label overlay issues while maintaining minimal average directional deviation between adjacent labels. Furthermore, this method is adaptable to various types of leader line labels. Meanwhile, we also discuss the block processing strategy to improve the efficiency of label configuration and analyze the impact of different proximity graphs.<|reference_end|>
