From scanner to CAD

Large format scanners produce highquality black and white, greyscale, or colour raster images. To effectively transfer scanned drawings to CAD, efficient post-processing software is necessary; the ideal solution is WiseImage. It has a high-end scanning module called WiseScan with native support for most wide-format scanners. It controls the scanning and automatic clean-up after scanning to optimize the raster image quality.

WiseImage combines premium tools to process scanned drawings, satellite imagery, or other raster graphics for seamless and efficient CAD integration. Image cleanup, correction, calibration, bit depth reduction and raster-to-vector conversion with WiseImage eliminates repetitive and time-consuming manual procedures.

High precision and colour reduction

Exact calibration is essential when processing scanned drawings. WiseImage offers multiple options for selecting the most suitable method, importing coordinate values or assigning point positions manually. Transformation algorithms provide high precision results.

As large format full colour images are huge it is vital to reduce image file sizes. WiseImage has set of unique colour reduction tools. Without any loss of information, coloured areas can be combined according to colour similarities or by referring to their distribution frequencies. Using information from colours, the software can identify uniformly coloured or pattern-filled areas that can be separated to different "layers" and processed individually.

Working with colour and grayscale raster images

In WiseImage it is possible to crop colour and greyscale raster images, change resolution and scale, deskew images, and eliminate linear and non_linear deformations using the calibration feature. It is possible to change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation and adjust the colour gamut, improve image quality and apply a set of colour filters (Blur, Unsharp mask, Median, and Gamma Correction). User can easily manage the colours of the image and create/edit LUT files using the Colour Classifier. It is easy to draw on these images and create raster objects by rasterizing vector objects to colour raster and merge monochrome and colour raster images.

Operations with raster objects and texts

WiseImage offers several advanced options for working with raster and vector data. One of them is the unique technology to select or separate raster objects into other layers, which is based on intelligent selections and a brand new selection engine including the new smart WiseObject (text, hatches, lines) selection. WiseImage's built-in OCR feature can recognize characters and numerals within the text block that the user is going to modify. Also WiseImage allows the use of external OCR modules.

Tracing capabilities

WiseImage has an advanced tracing function (semi-automatic, interactive raster to vector conversion) for colour, grayscale or monochrome images. In addition to simple graphic object tracing in WiseImage, it is possible to trace raster shapes that correspond to vector templates. Select a raster shape; WiseImage will match it to the appropriate vector object from the default Symbol Library or a customized library created to match user requirements. The polyline tracing feature has auto-detection of tracing direction.

Pro' means professional

Automatic Raster-to-vector conversion. The advanced version of WiseImage is WiseImage Pro. It features the conversion of scanned drawings to CAD files one by one or in batch mode - even overnight. Conversion allows precise tuning to achieve the most accurate vector representation of the source files with on-the-fly preview of conversion results. The original or custom line styles, widths, text height, and hatch styles are preserved. The result of the vectorization consists of lines, polylines, arcs, circles, text, and shapes (blocks).

Vector enhancement tools. WiseImage Pro has a comprehensive set of tuning tools for the auto-correction of vectors obtained after raster-to-vector conversion. These include specialized functions for editing vectors, such as merging a group of vectors to the object of a given type (e.g. some segments to an arc or circle), cropping, extension, etc.

Open architecture. WiseImage Pro provides a revolutionary break-through in the ability to use the WiseImage open architecture and ActiveX technology in automation and scripting tools. The Java script and VB script editor open new horizons for advanced users. Custom scripts and procedures can be freely created and modified. Moreover, the visual HTML-form editor has been added for convenience.

Selection, editing and image enhancement

WiseImage combines premium tools to process scanned drawings, satellite imagery, or other raster graphics for seamless and efficient CAD integration. Image cleanup, correction, calibration, bit-depth reduction and raster-to-vector conversion with WiseImage eliminates repetitive and time-consuming manual procedures.

Intelligent Object Selection technology of Consistent Software allows the selection of raster data by using AutoCAD-style tools - by picking; inside rectangle or polygon; by crossing rectangle, polygon, polyline, etc. Raster objects (raster lines, arcs and circles) have properties (line type, line width, etc.) and precise geometry, which can be changed in the AutoCAD properties dialog. You can also modify the geometry of raster objects by their "grips". Object snapping for raster objects is consistent with the AutoCAD snap (that only works with vectors).

WiseImage for AutoCAD has a variety of tools for enhancement and correction of color, grayscale and monochrome raster images. There are color and monochrome filters and image restoration tools such as: color correction, deskewing, four-point correction, elimination of linear and non-linear image distortions, cropping, rotation, resizing, etc. You can correct an image using a specified set of commands with one click. User can easily manage the colors of the image and create/edit LUT files in the Color Classifier or can perfectly operate with blueprints (scanned in grayscale mode) by a specific tool - Adaptive Binarization.

 
Tracing capabilities

To convert a raster symbol, line, arc, circle or outline to a vector object, a user only has to pick a point on the source raster object. The tracing mode can be set to retain, delete or smooth the original raster object. WiseImage can also recognize raster hatches and trace arbitrary raster curves by AutoCAD polylines. When tracing polylines, the program can automatically define the most probable trace direction. You can trace monochrome, color and grayscale images.

 
Automatic raster-to-vector conversion (Pro version)

When applying automatic vectorization, the user needs to set recognition parameters before starting the procedure. WiseImage for AutoCAD recognizes and converts to corresponding vector objects raster lines, arcs, circles, symbols, points, polylines, outlines and hatches. The program also recognizes raster line types, widths and dimension arrows. WiseImage for AutoCAD can process colour, greyscale or black and white images.

The results of automatic vectorization often require further correction - this can be done automatically with tools that will merge vector fragments, create orthogonal lines, and round objects widths to specified values. Resulting vector objects can be separated by weight, AutoCAD layers and color. During automatic raster-to-vector conversion WiseImage for AutoCAD converts raster texts to AutoCAD text entities. It is also possible to convert raster texts to polylines or outlines. The program can be easily taught to recognize new text characters. You can also use external OCR modules.

 
Working with Symbols

WiseImage offers several advanced options for working with raster and vector data. One of them is the unique technology to select or separate raster objects into other layers, which is based on intelligent selections and a brand new selection engine including the new smart WiseObject (text, hatches, lines) selection. WiseImage's built-in OCR feature can recognize characters and numerals within the text block that the user is going to modify. Also WiseImage allows the use of external OCR modules.
