I am interested in finding current information about the automatic translation
of aerial photographs into maps. The maps can be on any type: topographical,
street and highway, landuse, environmental, ... whatever.

It would seem that by digitizing an aerial photograph and then using some type
of edge-finding or other algorithm that this would be a task that has been
explored and that, at the very least, some prototype system exists.

So far, though, I have had no luck in finding such a thing. No doubt I am
looking in the wrong journals!

Please e-mail responses to CORNELL@MSUS1.BITNET.
