WiseImage "...it's one of the most complete packages for working with raster images and vector files I've ever seen....", writes David Byrnes in his article for Cadalyst.

WiseImage for Windows is the most advanced program for raster, vector and hybrid editing, and raster-to-vector conversion of scanned raster images. WiseImage for Windows is recognized for its Intelligent Raster and hybrid technology. Hybrid graphics in the WiseImage workspace offers a synergetic effect on the combination of raster and vector objects. It is a complete environment for graphics editing regardless of object type.

WiseImage 6 for Windows – customer focus

WiseImage 6 is a standalone raster-vector application with an open architecture. New comfortable Windows XP-style interface with various customization options, new sophisticated tools and productivity enhancement make the new WiseImage an ultimate solution for customers who work both with raster and vector data.

In version 6 a user can stream the power of a raster-vector (raster images overlaid with vector elements) editor and raster to vector (R2V) converter by a fantastic set of original processing tools and the ability to develop custom ones in scripting host. Multiple raster images can be loaded and the number of raster images handled simultaneously is unlimited. WiseImage Pro allows you to edit, update, and convert (both semi-automatically and automatically) to vectors scanned maps, drawings, sketches, and other graphics.

WiseImage 6 is an ultimate platform for industry-oriented solutions. WiseImage Pro Geo Edition is one of the most powerful raster drawing editors and raster-to-vector converters targeted to the cadastral and GIS market. It is based on WiseImage Pro for Windows.

WiseImages Features and benefits

WiseImage is the first true hybrid drawing editor and powerful raster to vector (R2V) converter for any type of scanned raster images: color, grayscale and monochrome. Using WiseImage, you can clean up, edit, update and convert to vectors scanned drawings, sketches, maps and other graphics. WiseImage for Windows introduces CAD-style editing of raster images.

Working with any kind of images

In WiseImage it is possible to process bitonal, color and grayscale raster images, change their basic characteristics: resolution, size and color space. User can easily manage colors of the image and create/edit palette settings for scanners in the Color Classifier. Advanced tools for conversion of color space are available, such as Adaptive Binarization which operates perfectly with blueprints scanned in grayscale mode.

Raster correction tools

WiseImage offers a wide range of features to enhance color and monochrome raster images, such as deskewing, cropping, rotation, color and monochrome filtering, color correction, elimination of linear and non linear image distortions, etc.

You can correct images using a predefined set of commands with one click.

Raster Objects and Hybrid Graphics

WiseImage hybrid technology enables you to use the same tools to select both vector and raster objects (raster lines, arcs and circles). Both raster and vector objects have properties (line type, width, marker type, etc.) and precise geometry which you can change in the properties dialog. You can also modify the geometry of raster and vector objects by their "grips". WiseImage treats raster and vector graphics in the same way as true "hybrid" graphics.

Symbols

WiseImage can recognize arbitrary raster symbols by matching them against predefined templates. Recognized symbols can have a different scale and arbitrary rotation angle. The program can be trained to recognize new symbols.

Layering of color images

You can separate color and monochrome images into separate monochrome layers for further editing or raster to vector (R2V) conversion.

Semiautomatic raster to vector conversion (tracing)

To convert a raster line, symbol, arc, circle or outline all you need to do is click a point on the source raster object. Various trace modes are available: retain, erase, or smooth the original raster. The program can also recognize raster hatches and trace arbitrary raster curves by polylines. When tracing polylines, the program can automatically define the most probable trace direction in crossing point. You can trace monochrome, color and grayscale images.

Automatic raster to vector conversion (Pro version)

Improved algorithms for automatic raster to vector (R2V) conversion allow the conversion of scanned drawings to CAD files, even in a batch mode. WiseImage recognizes and converts to vector objects raster lines, arcs, circles, symbols, points, polylines, outlines and hatches. The program also recognizes line types, weights and dimension arrows. Resulting vector objects can be distributed by weight, layers and color. The built in OCR module recognizes arbitrary oriented texts. You can also use external OCR modules. The program can be taught to recognize new text characters.

Vector enhancement tools (Pro version)

You can correct results of raster to vector (R2V) conversion using the automatic (merging fragments, correcting intersections, removing small sized vector objects, aligning lines, etc.) and interactive (merging specified fragments) correction procedures.

Open Architecture (Pro version)

WiseImage 6 provides a revolutionary breakthrough in the ability to use the WiseImage open architecture and ActiveX technology in automation and scripting tools. The Java script and VB script editor studio is now available in the WiseImage Pro version. Now scripts and procedures can be freely created and modified. Moreover, the visual HTML- form editor has been added for convenience.

The Script Studio and Batch Studio help you to create complex image and vector processing scripts. You can also use the internal script language, OLE/DDE interface and VB Script support to execute WiseImage commands or to communicate with other applications.

Flexible User Interface

The WiseImage Interface is fully customizable. You can organize your own working environmet by creating new menus, toolbars, context menu, hot keys. The multi document (MDI) interface support enables you to load and process multiple documents at the same time.
