Vextractor is a tool for transforming raster images into vector formats
by building centerlines and outlines. This tool could be used for vectorizing
of charts, maps, schemes and other similar images for input to CAD & GIS
systems. Current version contains realization of black & white image
processing only. 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.
Main features:
- Input raster formats: BMP. GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PCX;
- Conversion color or grayscale images to BLACK&WHITE (1 bit per pixel)
;
- Scaner support (TWAIN32);
- Output format for vector information - DXF;
- Create centerlines and outlines;
- Smart tracing of crossed polylines;
- Polylines breaks merging;
- Polylines smoothing;
- Coordinate referencing.
