Abstract	Research on generalization implies a need for intensive experiments with the tools developed. This need implies in turn that a research platform be available which allows for an easy development and integration of new algorithms, and which provides interactive facilities for determining the best tools sequences and tunings with respect to the geometrical characteristics of the features to generalize. We present in this paper such a research platform, named PlaGe, which has been developed from 1992 on and is widely used for shareable research developments in our laboratory. So far, this platform has allowed the research team to implement most of the classical algorithms as well as a technique for segmenting and characterizing line features. It is worth noting that this latter point is of prime importance in order to be able to apply the right processing with respect to the local geometry. To automate further the generalization process, starting with the currently available set of algortihms for simplification and smoothing, requires the investigation of two complementary issues: devising algorithmical implementations for operators such as caricature and schematization, which are often needed to cope with complex geometries, and determining a generalization strategy which, on the basis of computed geometrical characteristics, results in the application of the best sequences. Four new algorithms, for caricature and schematization, are introduced in the following, as well as a generalization strategy. The results obtained so far indicate that we should be able to automate significantly the generalization process for practical production needs.
