Automatic Extraction Of Isocontours From Historical Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of automated extraction of constant valued elevation curves (isocontours) from 2dimensional (2D) images of historical maps. We present a new isocontour extraction method that can operate in a semi automatic or fully automatic mode. The novelty of the work is in developing an isocontour extraction technique for historical map analysis that is unique in the GIS application domain and applicable in web, object recognition and semiconductor defect analysis applications. Three components of the presented extraction process are described including contour initialization, contour tracing and automatic extraction of all isocontours. An experimental comparison of the extraction results obtained using semi automatic and fully automatic modes of the algorithm is shown.

متن کاملExtraction and compression of hierarchical isocontours from image data
In this work, we introduce a new scheme to extract hierarchical isocontours from regular and irregular 2D sampled data and to encode it at single rate or progressively. A dynamic tessellation is used to represent and adapt the 2D data to the isocontour. This adaptation induces a controlled multi-resolution representation of the isocontour. This representation can then be encoded while controlli...
