The MapEDIT program for automated graphical data vectorization is intended for digital vector map creation by their raster images on the display of a computer.

MapEDIT accomplishes the following main tasks:

– to fulfill automated/manual vectorization by monochrome and color raster images with separating the map objects into layers;
– to save object attributive data to a database when fulfilling vectorization;
– to reference a map to a coordinate system, to correct distortion of a paper originals;
– to photogrammetrically process raster images of aerial and satellite photographs;
– to control correctness of topological relationship between input objects;
– to export gotten vector maps and databases into the formats GIS and CAD.

Furthermore, MapEDIT allows:

– to process input raster images;
– to put together parts of a vector map;
– to import maps for their editing.
