Abstract :
The authors present an automated method for the digitization, vectorization and storage of land record maps. Map data is input into a vision system as raw data using a solid-state camera. After noise removal, the processed data is converted to vector data by an efficient algorithm. This point data that presents the key points can be stored on peripheral storage devices for future reconstruction and modification of the map.<>
