WiseImage Pro Geo Edition: Raster to GIS fast-tracked

WiseImage Pro Geo Edition is targeted for users of many different applications such as cadastral, GIS, infrastructure planning, land development, land survey, geology and others. It is the ultimate solution for customers who work with both raster and vector data accompanied by attributive information.
WiseImage Geo provides professional tools to integrate and convert images and vector data. It is perfect to create, geo-reference and edit spatial data, including attribute data from scanned maps, cadastral plans, aerial and satellite photography, sketches and other raster graphics. The unique raster to vector conversion technology, a modern flexible interface and support for VBS and JavaScript helps to transfer scanned maps into Autodesk Map, ArcGIS (ESRI), MapInfo, and other mapping and GIS solutions.
WiseImage Geo utilizes the power of the raster-vector imagery editor and the raster to contour converter using a professional set of original geo-focused processing tools including the ability to develop custom processing scenarios. Multiple raster images can be loaded and the number of images handled simultaneously is virtually unlimited.

Scan-to-GIS workflow

Large format scanners produce high quality black and white, grayscale, or color raster images. However, to effectively transfer scanned maps and other graphics to GIS, efficient post-processing software is necessary; the ideal solution is WiseImage Geo.
WiseImage Geo combines premium tools to process scanned maps, satellite imagery, or aerial photographs for seamless and efficient GIS integration. Image correction, calibration, bit-depth reduction and interactive or automatic raste-to-vector conversion with WiseImage Geo eliminates the repetitive and time consuming manual procedures associated with traditional digitizing.
The typical full-length workflow can be described as:

• Scan
• Clean and enhance
• Digitize (Vectorize)
• Data Extraction and Export to GIS

WiseImage Geo works perfectly in all stages. It optimizes workflow from the very beginning - controls the scanning process and automatic clean-up after scanning to optimize raster image quality. It has a high-end scanning module called WiseScan with native support for most wide format scanners, enabling high quality map scanning.
In the next stage WiseImage Geo provides the user with the ability to geo-reference images and to perform cleanup and calibration on images.
It is also possible to use the smart WiseObject selection technology to separate text areas and symbols onto other layers, separating them from the original image.
When the map or plan is prepared for digitizing, the user has the choice of quick automatic raster-to-vector conversion or the advanced tracing function (interactive raster-to-vector conversion). Both methods can be used for monochrome, color or grayscale images. In addition to simple graphics object tracing in WiseImage Geo, it is possible to trace raster shapes that corresponds with pre-defined or imported vector templates.

High Precision and Colour Reduction

Exact calibration is an essential requirement when processing digital maps. WiseImage Geo offers multiple options for selecting the most suitable method, full manual control or automatic input support, importing coordinate values or assigning point positions manually. Various transformation methods provide high precision results fast.

Working with colour and greyscale raster maps

In WiseImage Geo it is possible to crop color and greyscale raster images, change their resolution and scale, deskew images, and eliminate linear and non-linear deformations using the calibration feature. Moreover a user can easily manage the colors of the image and create/edit LUT files using the Color Classifier.

Geo-referencing and GeoTIFF

WiseImage Geo supports professional geo-referencing options for raster images including the full set of GeoTIFF settings, including multi-page files or TWF creation for all raster formats.

Mosaicing and Assembly

Large raster maps can be split into any number of smaller sections ("tiles") to enable fast display focus for regions of interest. Using geo-referencing, these tiles will match perfectly in the target program. The result can be saved as a single multi-page GeoTIFF file.

Quick Conversion to Lines, Areas, Attributes

A unique set of line following and contour recognition features assists in digitizing scanned maps or aerial images. Even multi-coloured altitude lines are easily converted into splines and polylines. A special polygon and polyline function recognizes area objects in black and white or colour drawings. A single click is all that is required when digitizing buildings and properties in cadastral maps.

Operations with raster objects and texts

WiseImage Geo offers several advanced options for working with raster and vector data. The unique technology to select or separate raster objects, which is based on intelligent selections and a brand new selection engine including the new WiseObject (text, hatches, lines) selection toolbar.

Tracing and correction

WiseImage Geo will recognize shapes and match them to the appropriate vector objects from the loaded symbol (block) library or a customized library designed to match the users requirements.

Compatible with any GIS

WiseImage Geo supports GIS image integration and conversion in all kinds of application fields, such as infrastructure planning, cadastral records, land development, land survey, geology and many more
WiseImage Geo exports data in all major GIS and image formats, including Autodesk DWG/DXF, ESRI Shape files, MapInfo formats, Intergraph multipage raster, GeoTIFF and others.
The "intelligence" of WiseImage Geo will reduce costs and bring an additional value to existing mapping documents.

Open Architecture

WiseImage Geo provides a revolutionary breakthrough giving it the ability to use WiseImage open architecture and ActiveX technology to create scripting tools and automation. The Java script and VB script editor studio is available to customize WiseImage Geo for an infinite number of user defined tasks.
