Geo2Vec用符号距离场直接建模地理实体,兼顾形状与距离信息。
Geo2Vec: Shape- and Distance-Aware Neural Representation of Geospatial Entities
- 基于符号距离场,在原始空间自适应采样点并编码几何特征。
- 统一表示点、线、面等多类型地理实体,性能优于现有方法。
- 适合需要精准空间关系建模的地理人工智能应用。
空间表征学习对城市分析等地理人工智能应用至关重要,需编码地理实体(如点、折线、多边形)的形状、位置及拓扑与距离关系。现有方法或仅针对单一实体类型,或如Poly2Vec将实体分解后进行傅里叶变换,计算成本高;且变换空间缺乏几何对齐,依赖均匀非自适应采样,模糊边缘等细粒度特征。为此,我们提出Geo2Vec,受符号距离场(SDF)启发,直接在原始空间操作。Geo2Vec自适应采样点并编码其符号距离(外部为正,内部为负),无需分解即可捕捉几何结构。通过神经网络逼近SDF,生成紧凑、几何感知且统一的多类型实体表征。此外,提出旋转不变的位置编码以建模高频空间变化,构建结构化且鲁棒的嵌入空间,用于下游地理人工智能模型。实验表明,Geo2Vec在形状与位置表征、拓扑与距离关系捕捉方面持续优于现有方法,并在真实地理应用中更具效率。代码与数据见:https://github.com/chuchen2017/GeoNeuralRepresentation。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Spatial representation learning is essential for GeoAI applications such as urban analytics, enabling the encoding of shapes, locations, and spatial relationships (topological and distance-based) of geo-entities like points, polylines, and polygons. Existing methods either target a single geo-entity type or, like Poly2Vec, decompose entities into simpler components to enable Fourier transformation, introducing high computational cost. Moreover, since the transformed space lacks geometric alignment, these methods rely on uniform, non-adaptive sampling, which blurs fine-grained features like edges and boundaries. To address these limitations, we introduce Geo2Vec, a novel method inspired by signed distance fields (SDF) that operates directly in the original space. Geo2Vec adaptively samples points and encodes their signed distances (positive outside, negative inside), capturing geometry without decomposition. A neural network trained to approximate the SDF produces compact, geometry-aware, and unified representations for all geo-entity types. Additionally, we propose a rotation-invariant positional encoding to model high-frequency spatial variations and construct a structured and robust embedding space for downstream GeoAI models. Empirical results show that Geo2Vec consistently outperforms existing methods in representing shape and location, capturing topological and distance relationships, and achieving greater efficiency in real-world GeoAI applications.
