| Abstract | Scanners have been used as input devices in cartographic applications mainly for digitisation and eventually subsequent vectorisation of existing hardcopy maps. Other applications that can increasingly be found, particularly in relation to cartographic work within a GIS, make use of scanned images, especially aerial imagery, which are usually transformed into orthoimages and are subsequently used for generation or update of cartographic databases, and creation of different visual products in digital or analogue form like orthoimage maps and 3D perspective views. This paper deals with the use and applicability of DeskTop Publishing (DTP) scanners for cartographic applications. The motivation of the paper is the investigation as to what extent lower-priced DTP scanners, which are rapidly improving during the few last years, can be used for such applications. DTP |
