Abstract

In Part I of this series, the authors discussed those issues which we feel are fundamentally important and which must be addressed by any method which aims to mechanize the drawing of depth contours for hydrographic charts. In this article we begin the discussion of the How of contouring. In particular, we concentrate on some of the most common methods used in the interpolation of the synthetic surface upon which computed contours will lie.
