transition seems the only solution in order not to shut down 
traditional production lines before the new digital methods 
and techniques are imbedded in the mapping institute. The 
introduction of image processing techniques will aid in 
carrying out map revision and GIS data base updating 
efforts within the framework of affordable costs and a 
reasonable processing time length.
