Project Title: Data extraction from Historical Maps
Project Description:
I am working on fully digitalizing the data on historical maps.
This entails
– A georeferenced a historical map, with skew and distortion removed and lines from the paper sheets removed, with all sheet joined together
– Roads, railroads and other key pieces of geography and infrastructure vectorized
– Human settlements vectorized
– Pull all map metadata into POSTgresql
The end product:
I am hoping to build a database of historical maps and their data.
I want to use it in two ways.
– First, using the map data alone I want to be able to do things like tracking the pattern of human settlement over time.
– Second, I want to use as a reference for other material so I can do things like reconciled historical place names found in documents for both
spellings (since both maps and written records are in a variety of European languages like French, Dutch, German, English and Portuguese) and
renamed settlements (to match historical settlements to current settlements which have undergone a name change).
