Vector to Raster Conversion Error and Feature Complexity: an Empirical Study Using Simulated Data

ABSTRACT Simulated vector coastlines of known and varied complexity are rasterized at various levels by the quadtree method. The rasterizing error for each combination of coastline and raster size is calculated by a simple Boolean overlay method. The relationship between line complexity, raster size and rasterizing error is investigated and a method of selecting the most appropriate raster size based on the complexity of the source data and the required level of accuracy is presented.
