1) The document discusses creating a smooth transition between orthoimagery and vector map data by interpolating color and texture properties. 2) A methodology is proposed that determines pivot symbolizations and then interpolates symbolization parameters like color and texture to merge the visual properties between the two data sources. 3) An interactive user test validated that texture interpolation best controls the perception of realism along the transition. 4) The results include a "cartographic continuum" that smoothly transitions styles between the abstract vector map style and realistic imagery style.
