Abstract: In relation to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the possibilities of automatic processing of spatial data are increasing. Scanned topographical maps are a valued source of historical information. Neural networks allow us to extract information quickly and efficiently from such data, eliminating the difficult and repetitive work that would otherwise have to be done by a human. The article presents two case studies exploring the possibilities of using deep learning in historical geography. The first one is concerned with detecting and extracting swamps from topographic maps, while the second one attempts to automatically vectorize contours from the State Map 1 : 5 000
Keywords: Deep learning; historical geography; scanned maps; segmentation; vectorization
