文摘This paper deals withthe automatic connection of contourlines extracted from a scanned browngeographical map. For the variety oftopographical elements contained on amap, the factors causing the interrup-tion of contour line are also multiform,which make the connection task verydifficult. On the basis of separatingthose elements always making the con-tours break and regarding them as ref-erent layers, a layering-based methodis presented. The purpose is to takeinto account property information (likeinclination and configuration) of con-tour lines when they come across otherdifferent symbols, such as gully, cliff,dry land and elevation annotation etc.In this paper, the authors propose thatit should be far more effective and di-rect to adopt different algorithmic op-erators to different factors than usingsingle one operator to all.
