There is a large number of documents, including hand-printed maps, where useful information is lost if binarization is performed on the scanned image before further processing. For such documents, methods which utilize the gray scale values must be used in order to extract as much of the available information as possible. Topographic analysis has been used in the literature to recognize characters directly in the gray scale images. The authors extend the topographic analysis method, so that characters and lines can be extracted from gray scale map images where methods using only the information in the binary image fail.
