随着电子计算机技术和计量地理学的发展,使得地图学发生了深刻的变化,制图自动化成了地图学研究的新领域,并取得很大的成功。在应用方面,已有了数字资料自动制图和图形资料自动制图的成功经验。七十年代又迅速发展着航空遥感和航天遥感的自动制图,一些技术先进的国家已从实验阶段逐步过渡到生产阶段,比较广泛地应用于海洋、气象、测绘、 With the development of computer technology and metrology geography, the cartography has undergone profound changes. Cartographic automation has become a new field of cartography research and achieved great success. In terms of applications, there has been successful experience in automatic mapping of digital data and automatic mapping of graphical data. In the seventies, the rapid development of aeronautical remote sensing and aerospace remote sensing automatic mapping. Some technologically advanced countries have gradually shifted from the experimental phase to the production phase. They are widely used in marine, meteorological, surveying and mapping,
