Linear building groups are common patterns and important local structures in large scale maps, which should be carefully generalized. This paper uses the idea of line simplification to typify linear building groups. Firstly, based on the stroke idea, the linear building groups are detected that each building group is related by only one stroke; the collinear and curvilinear patterns are distinguished by calculating the overlap rate between the defined auxiliary polygon and its oriented bounding box. Secondly, the stroke is simplified by removing one node in each iterative step; and the remained nodes are reallocated to the new positions, which serves as the centroids location of the newly typified buildings. Third, the representation (size, shape, elongation, and orientation) of the newly typified buildings are calculated by the geometry information of their corresponding parent buildings. The typification method can be carried out as a progressive process, which iterates over the three steps to derive continuous typification results. The method is tested on two building datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve good performance by well preserving the original linear patterns in the generalized building groups.
