Digitization of Old Maps Using Deskan Express 5.0
The Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb purchased Deskan Express 5.0 at the end of 2002. It is a large format (A0+) flatbed scanner produced by the Australian company Shapemakers. It is unique for its scanning technology and price in range of large format scanners. The scanner’s construction makes it a good choice for scanning sensitive materials because the template does not move during scanning. Therefore, it can be used to scan old maps. Another important advantage is portability ; its weight is less than 20 kg and a flat surface of 1×1.5 m is needed for installation. Institutions keeping old maps pre-fer scanning in their premises. The scanner has been used to scan approximately 300 old maps in various institutions in Croatia. The main purpose of scanning was to prepare map exhibitions which included map reproductions rather than originals. Exhibition prepara-tion expenses were thus reduced. On the other hand, digitized old maps are to be re-searched in the future with all advantages of digital media. Quality of the final raster im-age obtained using original software was improved with a personal solution. For that pur-pose, new calibration software and stitching procedure were applied. It is possible to scan maps larger than A0, which was sometimes necessary. Although the scanner is not in range of professional equipment, it is good for making reproductions and reading raster images.
