 Contour Extraction and Visulization from Topographic Maps
Contour Extraction and Visulization from Topographic Maps ... elevation data can be extracted and utilized by recognizing contour lines in maps. In this project, the viability of contour extraction using image segmentation and Delaunay triangulation for line reconstruction ... simple as using the Moore contour tracing algorithm, as is suggested ......
CONTOUR LINES EXTRACTION AND RECONSTRUCTION FROM ...
maps are the contour lines (isolines), which are imaginary lines that join different points located at the same elevation. The isolines result from intersecting the ground surface with horizontal, parallel and equidistant planes. Topographic maps usually show not only the contours but also other thematical layers which overlap: streams and other...
Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from Topographic Maps or ...
The process of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) creation begins with the scanned and geo-referenced topographic map (or nautical chart in the case of bathymetry). Contour Lines, spot elevations, coastlines and bodies of water from the raster image are extracted, converted to digital vectors and given elevation values....
Contour line - definition of contour line by The Free ...
Define contour line. contour line synonyms, contour line pronunciation, contour line translation, English dictionary definition of contour line. n. A line on a map that joins points of equal elevation. n a line on a map or chart joining points of equal height or depth....
Constructing a 3D Topographic Map - USGS
But mountains, canyons, or any feature with enough topographic relief will work. Get a topographic map of the feature you want to model. Digital topographic maps can be downloaded free by going to the USGS Store and clicking on "Map Locator" . Or you can order a paper topographic map from the same Web site....

Lab 1: An Introduction to Topographic Maps
Elevation and Contour Lines: Elevation, typically measured relative to sea level whose elevation is arbitrarily said to be zero, is represented by contour lines on topographic maps. A contour line is a line of equal elevation. Contour lines are vertically spaced using contour intervals. For instance, USGS topographic maps commonly space contour ......
Automatic Extraction of Contour Lines from Topographic Maps
Abstract: The automatic extraction of contour lines and generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) from topographic maps is one of the challenging subjects mostly because of aliasing, false colors, closely spaced lines and other features causing intersection or overlapping. In this paper we present an algorithm to extract contour lines from colored images of scanned topographic maps....

Thanks again Boo. I have checked with Photoshop the proposed algorithm you described (on an image from Wiki). It does help masking the contour lines from the background. I believe that with the combination of some other filters and some algorithms which I have seen described in some documents - I can get a good result. – Nati Cohen Oct 26 '11 ...
Vectorization of contour lines from scanned topographic maps
In this paper we propose a general method for contour recognition and DEM (Digital Elevation Models) generation from commercially available printed topographic maps. Automatic contour recognition of a scanned topographic map is a difficult problem due to the presence of closely spaced or broken contours, overlapping data layers and complexities ......
