Abstract:The data transformation between different scales have became the research focus in the surveying and mapping industry. But, there is not a mature software cases in Multiscale data conversion and standard output. In this paper, taking topographic map transformation with the scale of 1∶500 and 1∶2000 as the exemples, transformation methods of topographic maps with different scales are studied. The automatic conversion between ground object data structures includes transformation from plane to point and from plane to line. It can be ensured that the location before and after the transformation is property right. How to make the right choice when topographic maps with different scales are transferred.
