Doe anyone have experience with the scanning of maps ( for
example, soil or topographic maps) with the aim of extracting
point, line or area information? I would like to find out
what has been done in this area before I'm going to spend a
lot of time extracting contour lines from topographic maps
or soil polygons from a soil map. 
I foresee a lot of problems (gaps in the contours, how to 
deal with multicolored soil polygons and hatchings, etc)
which may already have been (partly) solved by others.
Thanks for your help!
