ABSTRACT: 
When creating a public map using digital mapping in Japan at the present time, it is legally specified that it must create according to 
the following procedure in public survey operation specifications. There are 14 procedures as follows, a work plan, set up pass 
points, set up air photo signals, photography, pricking, field reconnaissance survey, aerial triangulation, plotting, supplement survey, 
editing, field supplement survey and supplement editing, creation of digital mapping data, creation of original drawing map and sort 
out results. Our company has systematized so that work may progress smoothly about processing from the plotting to creation 
original drawing map. Moreover, the trial product of a digital field reconnaissance survey system was created in 2000, and the 
utilization experiment is conducted at the present time. Creation of flight plan map created in a work plan and index map which 
arranges a photography result is performing analogue processing using the paper map. On the other hand, photography was 
automated by the navigation system, which used GPS. Since a flight plan map was paper, exposure stations had to digitize in order 
to import data to a navigation system. Therefore, the planned support system aiming at the increase in efficiency of processing by 
digitization of a photography flight plan and management of comprehensive map creation was developed. We named the planned 
support system the Map Square. Map Square expresses MAP? and the origin is extracting the initial of the Management And Plan 
system for MAP production. 
This paper describes the generating algorithm of photography flight plan line in the Management And Plan system for MAP 
production and the visualization of a flight simulation which used the photography flight plan line as application. 
1. CONSIDERATION OF THE GENERATING 
ALGORITHM 
We classified about the photography flight plan line generating 
method according to the object of map creation. The 
photography flight plan is classified into two types of a polygon 
and a route according to the form of the map creation range. In 
the photography flight plan for a polygon, according to the SC NS n 
contents, the plan of three types is needed. le». 
The 3types are as follows, photography scale priority that 
adjusts the flight altitude for the large scale map, flight altitude 
priority that fixed flight altitude for the medium scale map, fix 
flight datum plane is used for fixed-assets business, and does 
not take the geographical feature into consideration. 
1.1 Geographical feature 
Geographical feature information was examined in performing 
the photography plan in consideration of geographical feature. 
DEM of 50 m and 250 m mesh was published by the 
Geographical Survey Institute, and we adopted 50 m mesh, in 
order to use detailed information. However, since it became the 
cause of an increase of hypertrophy of geographical feature DB, 
and processing time, we decided to adopt DEM of 250 m 
meshes. 
1.2 Photography scale priority 
  
  
  
  
  
  
Photography scale priority is generated with the following 
concept in consideration of geographical feature. *%
