Raster Plotter Software. Volume 1. Technical Report

Abstract

A color coding scheme for hierarchically representing the cartographic symbology associated with JOG series 1501-A charts was developed and implemented at the RADC Experimental Cartographic Facility (ECF). The scheme employs a three level hierarchy, with up to ten colors available for each level of the hierarchy. Based on this color coding scheme, computer programs which accomplish the necessary recognition and interpretation of these color codes were developed and demonstrated. Color tagged raster data recorded by the RADC Automatic Color Scanning Device comprised the input to these programs, while the output comprised lineal data fully annotated in accordance with the prescribed code structure. In this process, separate scannings are required for the base manufacture and the coded overlay.
