What is WiseImage 11 for Windows?

WiseImage 11 for Windows is a standalone raster-vector application that includes the real integration of CAD and image processing. WiseImage allows users to edit, update and convert (both semi automatically and automatically) to vectors scanned maps, drawings, sketches, and other graphics.

WiseImage 11 for Windows has a powerful raster-vector editor (raster images overlaid with vector elements) and raster to vector converter with an incredible set of processing tools and the ability to develop custom ones in scripting host. This software allows the user to set up profiles for WiseImage settings that can be switched and shared among users. Multiple raster images can be loaded and the number of raster images handled simultaneously is unlimited.

The native CAD-style interface with enhanced document features, vectorization, vector editing, and raster editing makes WiseImage 11 the perfect tool for a wide range of applications including GIS, cadastral, aerial, satellite image processing, architecture, engineering and schematics.

From Scanner to CAD

Large format scanners produce high-quality black and white, grayscale, and color raster images. WiseImage software allows users to effectively transfer scanned drawings to CAD. WiseImage has a high-end scanning module called WiseScan with native support for the IDEAL/Contex scanners and most wide-format scanners. WiseScan controls the scanning and automatic clean-up after scanning to optimize the raster image quality. It 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 with WiseImage eliminates repetitive and time-consuming manual procedures.

High Precision and Color Reduction

Exact calibration is essential when processing scanned drawing. WiseImage offers multiple options for selecting the most suitable method of importing coordinate values or assigning point positions manually. Transformation algorithms provide high-precision results. WiseImage’s color reduction tools allow colored areas to be combined according to color similarities or by referring to their distribution frequencies without any loss of information. Using the information from colors, WiseImage can identify uniformly colored or pattern-filled areas that can be separated to different “layers” and processed individually.

Working with color and grayscale Raster images

The new calibration feature in WiseImage allows users to crop color and grayscale raster images, change resolution and scale, deskew images, and eliminate linear and non-linear deformations. With WiseImage users can change brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and adjust the color gamut, improve image quality and apply a set up color filters (Blur, Unsharp Mask, Median, and Gamma Correction). Users can easily manage the colors of the image and create/edit LUT files using the Color Classifier. It is easy to draw on these images and create raster objects by rasterizing vector objects to color raster and merge monochrome and color raster images.

Operations with raster objects and texts

WiseImage offers several advanced options for working with raster and vector data. One advance option called, WiseObject, allows the user to select or separate raster objects into other layers. WiseImage has a built-in OCR feature that recognizes characters and numerals within a text block that is going to be modified. In addition, WiseImage supports 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 breakthrough in the ability to use the WiseImage open architecture and ActiveX technology in automation and scripting tools. The JavaScript and VBScript editor opens 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.
