This sketch presents AutoMNT, a software designed for creating Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from scanned color topographic maps for 3D vizualisation and navigation. DEM are used in a large number of civil and military applications. Some operators like USGS in the USA or IGN in France sell DEM data files, but this represents a small database compared to available paper maps for all places over the world at different time periods. The goal is then to create DEM from scanned topographic maps in the most automatic way.
