Implementation of quality control processes in the updating of urban cartographic series through a combination of CAD and GIS. Rev. cartogr. [online]. 2021, n.103, pp.47-69.  Epub Sep 27, 2021.

This article presents a set of developments and tools designed to automate the greatest possible number of quality control processes carried out on a cartographic series during the maintenance and updating phases, within a municipal context. Given that the time and resources employed in these tasks are considerable, a methodology has been designed that takes advantage of the possibilities of the CAD and GIS environments to speed up and optimise the detection of discrepancies between the cartographic representation and the parameters established by the competent cartographic body, thus facilitating the location of these errors and their subsequent revision and correction. The automation process is exemplified by the large scale cartographic series of Sabadell City Council, achieving a significant minimization of the intervention of technician.

Keywords : cartography; quality control; Geographic Information System; cartographic update; automatic error detection.
