ABSTRACT:
System and method for processing information from a paper map source to produce an accurate high resolution digitized map database in matrix format having separate files for each selected feature. The system and method scans the input paper map source and processes the scanned data into a digitized map database in matrix format with distinct and selectable features as are represented on the input map. Selected features include vegetation, hydrography, lines of communication, miscellaneous features, and terrain elevation. The use of separate files significantly reduces the processing time required by application programs used to analyze or display the data relating to a particular feature.
