Detecting topographic database changes and updating 1:25.000 scale maps population class by changes

ABSTRACT

For rapid production of spatial data and topographic maps, map production systems should be transformed into a dynamic structure. Topographic map production system in Turkey, cartographic operations for each map are repeated in the same way, regardless of the amount of data updated in the geographic database. The implementation of similar actions on maps with very few changes is not time and cost effective. In this study, changes were determined by comparing the current and previous data from TOPODB and the resulting changes were integrated into the population class of 1:25.000 scale topographic maps in a third less time.
