A list, not exhaustive yet, of the spatial analysis and data enrichment algorithms available in CartAGen platform. Spatial analysis is necessary to generalize a map as it enables the adaptation of the process to the characters of map features. It also enables the enrichment of the dataset with geographic features that were implicit in the input dataset (e.g. roundabouts are only round road sections with no specific semantics in most geographical datasets).
