The Marine Corps contracted with IDEAL to provide the scan-to-print and vectorization capability for the TPC.
TPC requirements included:
- Highly accurate scanned input
- Color-calibrated scan-to-print application
- Accurate and easy-to-use vectorization
- Scanning systems capable of working in mobile environments
and varying temperatures
- Scanning systems capable of integrating with the ESRI and ERDAS Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and image processing tools
Contract Work, Scope, and Deliverables
IDEAL delivered sixty-five GIS scanners, capable of delivering color images with 36" wide scans at 800-dpi resolution.
IDEAL's GIS scanners are equipped with software that enables scan-to-file for digital archiving and/or
color-matched scan-to-print for printing to HP 1055 printers, which are part of the TPC configuration.
In addition, IDEAL's raster-to-vector conversion software enabled the scanned images to be imported into ESRI
and ERDAS GIS and image processing tools.
IDEAL provided technical assistance in incorporating the scanning
systems into the Tactical Geospatial Information Library, the Deployable Geospatial Information Library workstations
and the Digital Terrain Analysis Mapping System. IDEAL trained Marine personnel at Camp LeJune, NC and Camp
Pendelton, CA. For more information on the products used in this case study, contact
