Chart Modification and Reproduction with a Raster System.

Abstract

The Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center (DMAHTC) acquired the SCI-TEX Response 250 Mapping System (R250/MS) to facilitate the production of modified facsimile charts. Currently, a preliminary evaluation indicates that the system is capable of producing the modified color-separated reproducibles required for the production of modified facsimile charts. Editing of a raster file remains the most time-consuming phase of the production flow. Standard operating procedures to reduce edit time and scanning procedures to reduce the amount of spurious data are currently being established. The addition of font, symbol, and text libraries will further increase the capabilities of the R250/MS. Following the establishment of the system in the modified facsimile reproduction process, other avenues of cartographic applications will be explored. (Author)
