Vextractor description
Raster to vector conversion tool for vectorizing of charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems

Vextractor is a reliable vectorizer application for transforming raster images into vector formats by creating centerlines and outlines.

Vextractor could be used for vectorizing of charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems. Also you can vectorize logotypes and other similar line art images for using in Vector Graphic Design software.

An application has an option to setup a reference for images, in other words to assign a real coordinates to certain raster points. Thus, you can get vector data not only in the raster coordinates , but real geographical coordinates or in the chart coordinates.

Here are some key features of "Vextractor":

· Create centerlines and outlines
· Arcs and circles recognition
· Orthogonal lines recognition
· Polylines smoothing
· Edge detection
· Vector editor
· Smart trace method for passing polylines crossings
· Input raster formats: BMP, GIF, TIFF/GeoTIFF, JPEG, PCX, TGA, PNG, WBMP, ICO, RAS, PBM, PGM, PPM
· Raster image noise filtration
· TWAIN32-compatible scanners support
· Output formats for vector information:
· AutoCAD DXF and DXB
· Windows Metafiles WMF and EMF
· ArcView shapefiles (SHP)
· MapInfo MIF/MID
· ASCII XYZ simple text format
· Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)
· Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
· Coordinate referencing
· Input Z-values (elevation)


Requirements:

· Pentium II
· 64 Mb RAM


Limitations:

· Limited output in vector formats.
