Abstract

Abstract : This paper presents some tests for the updating of the Italian Raster Regional Technical Map (RRTM) at 1: 10000 scale and of the Italian Vector Technical Map (VTM) at 1: 5000 scale using a submeter Quickbird imagery collected in a near flat urban area of the Northern Italy. Results show that the updating of the 1: 10000 scale cartography was always possible, while a rigorous updating of 1: 5000 scale cartography was possible only in few situations. Results are discussed with reference to the specifications required for the 1: 10000 scale and 1: 5000 scale topographic databases (DBs) production of the Lombardia Region, which is a reference for metric mapping purposes in Italy.
