Systems, Methods and Computer Readable Medium To Implement an Aerodrome Database

A method executed on a computer of digitizing imagery for constructing map(s) of an aerodrome database (AMDB), comprising:

• entering data of the imagery in computer memory;
• displaying the imagery comprising pixels on the computer screen;
• displaying user selectable predefined target feature types that correspond to features of the imagery on the computer screen;
• associating attributes with each predefined target feature type and subfeature;
• and
• digitizing a Bezier curve template to align a curved part of a predefined target feature type to a curved part of the imagery.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for constructing map(s) for an aerodrome database, comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed on computer perform the steps of:

• entering data of the imagery in computer memory;
• displaying the imagery comprising pixels on the computer screen;
• displaying user selectable predefined target feature types that correspond to features of the imagery on the computer screen;
• displaying user selectable attributes of each of the predefined target feature types;
• automatically populating each predefined target feature type with subfeatures;
• associating attributes with each predefined target feature type and subfeature;
• displaying a Bézier curve template to align a curved part of a predefined target feature type to a curved part of the imagery;
• and
• storing the digitized map in an aerodrome AMDB.
