The Computer Aided Resource Information System (CARIS), a vector-based Geographic Information System (GIS), has been extended with raster data-handling capabilities. Since early 1991, research and development work has been underway in the Laboratory of Photogrammetruy at the Department of Forestry of the University of Moncton at Edmundston, toward an integration of the WILD-AVIOLYT BC2 analytical stereoplotter with CARIS. In order to convert the files from AVIOLYT BC2 format into CARIS format, a communication link was conceived between the two systems. Finally, all the files created in AVIOLYT BC2, such as control points, mass points, and grid points, together with Countour Interpolation Program (CIP) files, are converted and transferred to the CARIS system, and subsequently used to rectify the aerial phtographs that have been digitized with scanning equipment.
