Abstract:
A system may include a processor configured to: obtain an image of an airport terminal chart; based on a latitudinal set of characters, determine a latitude for each line of latitude; based on the latitude for each line of latitude and a first image distance between the lines of latitude, determine a first ratio of latitudinal degrees between the lines of latitude to the first image distance; based on a longitudinal set of characters, determine a longitude for each line of longitude; based on the longitude for each line of longitude and a second image distance between the lines of longitude, determine a second ratio of longitudinal degrees between the lines of longitude to the second image distance; and output information associated with the first ratio, the second ratio, the determined latitude for each line of latitude, and the determined longitude for each line of longitude.
