OPTIMIZED DIGITAL AUTOMATIC MAP COMPILATION SYSTEM.

Abstract

The primary purpose of the DAMC project is to optimize system hardware and computer programs, and to develop and evaluate alternate correlation techniques. The objective is to prove conclusively the concept of digital map compilation. The system consists of a photo digitizer unit for scanning and digitizing a pair of stereo aerial diapositives, specially written computer programs for use on an IBM 7090/7094 Computer to perform resection, rectification, correlation, and orthocorrection of the digital photo data, and a photomap printer unit for printing the rectified photo, the contour manuscript with or without grid tic marks, and the orthophoto map with or without contours and grid tic marks.
