A Unified Approach to Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy (MC and G) Data Base Structure Design

Abstract

This is the final report for an investigation of a possible unified approach to Mapping, Charting and Geodesy (MC and G) data base structure design. The purposes of this investigation were to analyze the implications of various image archive structures in support of MC and G production and to demonstrate the potential value of recent results in Topological Data Base structures in MC and G applications. This report presents the results of the investigation. It includes analysis of the merits and deficiencies of the various approaches and the results of an experimental application of Topological Data Base Structuring principles in an example MC and G data base processing problem.
