用AI自动检测地理矢量数据错误，提升城市数据质量评估效率

Geospatial vector data quality is a foundational research topic in GIS, yet classic rule-based quality assessment algorithms often struggle with diverse urban morphologies and massive data volumes. Recently, Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) shows promising potential for automating geospatial analysis, while its application to native vector data remains largely underexplored. To fill this research gap, we proposed Topo4Vec, an automated GeoAI framework, designed for scalable vector data quality assessment via advanced Spatial Representation Learning (SRL). Specifically, Topo4Vec relax the labor-intensive manual annotation process via topological error simulation, such as overlapping polygons and street network connectivity errors e.g., overshoots and undershoots. Then, it leverages state-of-the-art SRL approaches to encode complex, native vector geometries (e.g., polylines and polygons) into a latent space where topological errors are isolated from valid ones. A systematic performance evaluation across three study areas (Los Angeles, Munich, and Singapore) demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of Topo4Vec, achieving a peak accuracy of 0.99 for detecting overlapping building footprints and 0.60 for overshoots and undershoots in street networks. Moreover, lessons learned from Topo4Vec shed a promising light into a scalable and autonomous GeoAI approach for large-scale vector data consistency and quality monitoring within the fast-growing geospatial data ecosystems.
