✦ Synopsis

As computer power falls in price and more and better hardware becomes available, computer aided cartography is brought within many budgets Some applications are described Mor, M and Lamdan, T 73 19 'A new approach to automatic scanning of contour maps' Commun ACM, Vol 15 (September 1972) No 9, pp 809--812 The problem of automatic dtgmzmg of contour maps is discussed An analysis of the structure of a general contour map Is performed and its topological properties are employed in the development of a new scannlng algorithm Detection and recognition of contour lines is achieved by a two-colour labelling scheme The 'tangency problem' in scanning is described
