Historical maps contain rich cartographic information, such as road networks, but this information is “locked” in images and inaccessible to a geographic information system (GIS). Manual map digitization requires intensive user effort and cannot handle a large number of maps. Previous approaches for automatic map processing generally require expert knowledge in order to fine-tune parameters of ...

accurate prediction of the surgical outcome is important in treating dentofacial deformities. visualized treatment objectives usually involve manual surgical simulation based on tracing of cephalometric radiographs. recent technical advancements have led to the use of computer assisted imaging systems in treatment planning for orthognathic surgical cases. the purpose of this study was to examin...

Digitization is a key process in preserving, protecting and providing continued long-term access to archive materials. The competencies required digitization pose challenges individuals organizations engaging activities. We take competency mapping approach support skills anticipation. Current anticipated public private Finland were surveyed using digital preservation framework. Results show tha...

Our task was to analyze a certain digitizing system, check what type of errors emerge during the process, and how these errors effect the searchability of the digitized documents. We have set up a testbed which is suitable for the automatic processing of digitized texts in a large scale. In this paper we shortly introduce the methodology of document digitization emphasizing the error-sources in...
