Italian term

carta di restituzione

Italian to English Other Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts) cartography
Fu un’impresa, per l’epoca, gigantesca: la copertura totale del territorio italiano con una scala, allora, singolarmente dettagliata, 1:250.000, realizzata in soli sette anni (1906 - 1913): la prima carta “di restituzione” destinata al viaggiatore.
Any suggestions what this could be? thanks

Lara Barnett Feb 20, 2011:
Historical reference to unification? Could this be referring to the new unification happening at the time?
"Two Sicilies etc. But from 1861 on, these states all came together with one king as their leader. In 1871, Rome was made the capital of Italy. So by 1900, Italy was barely 30 years old as a nation."

Restituted map

In cartography Restitution is defined as follows:
RESTITUTION
"The determination of the true (map) position of objects or points; the image of which appears distorted or displaced on unprocessed aerial photographs. Restitution corrects for displacement resulting from both tilt and relief displacement."
http://en.mimi.hu/gis/restitution.html

I think a literal translation would work here as there do seem to be various "restituted maps" around on different web pages.

A flight scale 1:5.000, support and restitution of scale 1:1000, were designed for the parcel concentration. Later, with the RESTITUTED MAPS and the aerial pictures enlarged, a field revision and a parcel identification were done for their future definitive edition.

"...people generally dislike if the RESTITUTION / friciton are changed much cause it's confusing. The MAP looks rather messy, too."

aerophotogrammetric map

it appears that "carta di restituzione" is associated wirth aerofotogrammetrica and therefore, you could consider translating it with the term I propose...

15, elaborazione dell'autore sulla base della carta di restituzione aereofotogrammetrica
http://books.google.it/books?id=Mi0hPz0ojdUC&pg=PA50&lpg=PA5...

The award of Dias de Aguiar was made on July 15, 1945. The problem of the southern sector of the Zamora-Santiago area did not arise until 1947, after delivery to the Parties of the aerophotogrammetric map that revealed the true geography of the area, poorly know until then.

or, check this: Aerophotogrammetric restitution
procedure which allows, using special instruments (analogue or digital photorestitutor), to build a map (both on paper and digital) of a portion of land by stereoscopic aerial photographs.

Reference:

restituzione grafica

Penso intendano la restituzione grafica dei rilevamenti effettuati, ovvero hanno fatto tutti i rilevamenti su tutto il territorio italiano, li hanno messi insieme e riportati (restituiti graficamente) sulla carta. Le carte aerofotogrammetriche o rilievi aerofotogrammetrici, per esempio, sono solitamente frutto della "restituzione del volo" xxx.

Per restituzione grafica credo si parli di "graphic rendering" in inglese

What about "graphically rendered map"? Would it work?

I meant graphically-rendered map with a hyphen

agree R.C. (X) : semplicemente resa grafica: da un sito: "Per Cartografia Numerica, si intende la cartografia digitale sviluppata con restituzione digitale.............."

Grazie Raffaella!
agree James (Jim) Davis : Reference is good but careful how we go. Aerial photography and digital processing wasn't quite the norm in 1913.

Thanks Jim. Sure, that was just some reference to understand what we're talking about, but I think we can talk about graphic rendering (however done) even back then, right?
