Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Raster-to-Vector Benchmark Testing

Abstract

Battelle's Columbus Laboratories conducted raster-to-vector benchmark testing on two cartographic data capture systems at the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center (DMAHTC). A cartographic benchmark testing package and testing methodology, developed during an earlier project, were validated during the testing on DMA production systems. This final report consists of six topical areas: (1) benchmark testing materials and testing materials and testing methods; (2) benchmark testing results; (3) benchmark testing material and testing methodology validation; (4) recommendations for benchmark testing of non-DMA cartographic data capture system; (5) recommendations for future research and development; and (6) observations about in-house system characteristics and operating procedures. Additional keywords; Scanners; Digitizing systems; Graphics; Plotters; AGDS (Automated Graphic Digitizing System); and Tables(Data). (Author)
