Abstract :
GIS layers have became an essential part of any GIS model today, and therefore, there is a need for developing automatic approaches to extract GIS layers from digital map images (scanned maps). This is due to the increasing number of digital maps and the advances in the functionality of modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In this paper, we propose a new approach that can be used to automatically extract GIS layers based on the HSI color model. The results are acceptable.
