Modern IT systems are increasingly being expanded to include a geographic representation for all types of data and data display on either a cartographic or a photographic map background. Military commanders are in critical need of accurate maps, GIS data, and photographic intelligence for mission planning, operational command and control, and 3-D mission rehearsal and training. To meet these expanding needs, large volumes of maps and photography need to be quickly and accurately processed and transformed into various digital formats as well as user readable formats.
