Automated Feature Attribute Accessing from Map Text

Abstract

This report documents an investigation into the feasibility of placing machine-readable symbology (bar codes or OCR text) on map products. The approach to this research included a survey of optical-scanning devices, procurement of suitable devices, and interfacing the equipment to a personal computer for the development of a prototype automated feature attribute access system. This report documents the issues that surfaced during the design and testing of this prototype system.
