All,

Over the past few years, I had the pleasure of working through some tough imaging issues with the folks at Stanford, whcih we documented and are sharing through the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries: Advances in Geospatial Information, Collections & Archives. Studies could have been much more scientific, but the conclusions were helpful none-the-less. We looked at different imaging technologies and included snapshots of production costs. Stanford also shares the Potrace-based vectorization approach that was another outcome of the study.

Here's their blog post with a link to the article: http://library.stanford.edu/blogs/digital-library-blog/2013/09/scanning-maps-and-learning-defects

Cheers,
Matt
