Map scanning and automated conversion

Objectives

This unit will introduce quick and less costly methods of data capture - map scanning and automated conversion. This unit will briefly discuss scanners. This unit will thoroughly discuss scanning of documents, vectorizing through on-screen digitizing, automated and semi automated conversion with practical exercises using R2V software. At the end of the unit, you will be able to carry out capture of spatial data through scanned documents using onscreen digitizing, automated and semi-automated conversion methods.
