Information electronization is no longer a new topic. With the rapid development of Internet technology, more and more attention has been paid to promoting information sharing. The same is true for MAP information. We have a wide range of paper maps, construction maps, repair maps, and design change maps. They are not necessarily useful when they are used, after years of painstaking efforts, these countless engineers were either neatly locked in the cabinet of the archive room to decorate the facade, or piled up in a mess in the corner to bury it with dust, which became a nest of cockroaches. Why do we need to let these efforts go? Why can't we use computer technology to manage these valuable materials electronically and then publish them to the network to reflect its value? Of course, we may not want to publish data to the Internet because of data confidentiality. However, technically, any technology applicable to the Internet can run on the enterprise intranet, this includes the MapGuide map publishing platform we will mention in this article. Well, let's not talk about it. The article by Neal Niemiec below describes how to use tools such as Map3D and RasterDesign to digitize a paper map into a computer and publish it on the MapGuide network platform. What's important is that Neal also has a good video demonstration to demonstrate the entire workflow.

 

The first is scanning. First, we need to input the paper drawings into the computer through a scanner to form a grating image file.

Secondly, Geographic Positioning gives us a plane grating image with real geographical coordinates.

Then we need to convert the grating image into a map image represented by a vector, so that we can perform spatial analysis on the data.

Finally, a Web-based map publishing platform is used to publish the analyzed and processed maps to the Web for more users.

The following shows how to easily normalize map data in Map3D and RasterDesign. We use Map3D to sort out the generated vector data, finally, the whole process of publishing through the MapGuide platform.
