VECTORIZATION OF LINEAR FEATURES IN SCANNED TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS USING ADAPTIVE IMAGE SEGMENTATION AND SEQUENTIAL LINE TRACKING

Vectorization of cartographic features is a difficult task in geographic information acquisition from topographic maps. This paper presents a semi-automatic approach to linear feature vectorization directly in original scanned colour topographic maps without layer separation. In the approach, a slid...
