BAE Systems produces cartographic products including Topographic Line Maps (TLMs)
(1:50,000 through 1:250,000) and feature databases (FDBs). BAE Systems’ products and
services must meet high quality control (QC) standards, be produced in a timely manner,
and allow the production staff to make updates quickly. “Raw extraction or updating
existing feature databases has been a primary task,” said Allan Blades, production manager
at BAE Systems. “Some of the tools that we have used for feature extraction at our facility
were good mapping tools but left much editing and end processing to be done to achieve
a product compatible with customer specifications for FDBs.”
