Georeferencing, Annotation and Analysis Tools for Old Maps: An Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Early maps are valuable sources as they not only contain geographic information but are also a political and cultural mirror of their time. Nowadays becoming more and more available in a digital format, such digitized early maps are a way of getting evidence and detecting novelties in the field of historic research. Thus software systems are developed or classical GIS systems are used to support users in receiving answers to research questions, for example in following areas: • Landscape dynamics [1], [2], [3] • Flood mapping [1] • Forest cover change [1], [4] • Map accuracy [5], [1], [6], [7] • Assessing geodetic knowledge [8], [9] • Toponym changes [10], [11] • Urban model reconstruction [12]

متن کاملGeoreferencing Maps With Contours
In this paper, we present an overview of the georeferencing capabilities that enable registration of digital maps (raster data) with contours (vector data). This paper outlines the theory and standards used for proper geographic referencing of digital maps, and focuses on extraction of georeferencing information from TIFF and ESRI IMG raster file formats. Given 2D maps and 3D contours, georefer...
