What is the name of the process that produces digital vector data from paper maps?

Georeferencing
Georeferencing is the process of assigning the raster map its geographic coordinates and coordinate system; in other words, it associates a map image with its actual location in geographic space.

How do you convert a paper map to a digital data set?

This topic describes the workflow for preparing a map to be digitized.

1. Step 1: Set up your digitizing tablet and install the driver software.
2. Step 2: Configure the digitizer puck buttons.
3. Step 3: Ensure the quality of your paper map.
4. Step 4: Establish control points on the paper map.
5. Step 5: Register the paper map.

How do you georeference an image in ArcGIS?

Geo-referencing involves assigning real-world coordinates to a number of reference points on the image. In ArcMap, this is done by using the tools available in ArcMap’s Georeferencing Toolbar. In this example a map is used which has real-world coordinates labeled near the four corners of the map.

How to convert graphics to shapefiles in ArcGIS?

You can convert graphics you draw on your map into shapefiles or geodatabase feature classes.

How are scanned maps stored in ArcGIS Pro?

The cache can be created in ArcGIS Pro, then uploaded to ArcGIS Online for hosting and sharing. If end users or applications will need dynamic access to the imagery (to turn collars on and off, for example, or explore maps through time) scanned maps can be served as image services using ArcGIS Image Server.

Can you use interpolation to convert scanned images to raster?

Using ArcScan for ArcGIS, you can convert scanned images into vector-based feature layers. You can also use interpolation to convert data to a raster dataset. This requires the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension (or the ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension ). To learn more about interpolation, see Understanding interpolation analysis.
