Question

A common challenge in raster to vector conversion, especially when dealing with scanned maps, is ______.

• A. Loss of attribute information.
• B. Introduction of topological errors.
• C. Generalization and loss of detail in curved or complex features.
• D. Difficulty in assigning coordinate values.

Hint:

Raster to vector conversion may simplify or distort intricate map details.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

When converting raster data—especially scanned maps—into vector format, curved or intricate features may be approximated using straight line segments. This leads to generalization and detail loss.
