Georeferencing Maps With Contours

چکیده
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, georeferencing transformations are described for translating between spatial points specified in three different coordinate systems: latitude/longitude, UTM, and pixel. We interpret and utilize georeferencing parameter information embedded in different types of digital maps to provide a system that can geo-register contours for several popular map types and their file formats.

Investigation of Improvement in Georeferencing of Urban Analog Maps using the Geometric Elements and Genetic Algorithm
A large number of civil registries are available as analog maps that require georeferencing. Besides the quality of the analog maps and control points, the algorithm used for georeferencing also affects the accuracy of the map and the carried out geometrical calculations which indicates the need to study modern Georeferencing Methods. This requires the adoption of georeferencing optimization mo...

Historical studies often need to consider both geographic and temporal aspects of the analysed phenomenon. At present, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can provide historians with a series of extremely useful tools for analysing the territory and its temporal transformations. As already known, historical maps may lack of geographic reference systems or may be expressed in systems which ar...

BACKGROUND Maps of disease occurrences and GIS-based models of disease transmission risk are increasingly common, and both rely on georeferenced diseases data. Automated methods for georeferencing disease data have been widely studied for developed countries with rich sources of geographic referenced data. However, the transferability of these methods to countries without comparable geographic ...
