March 29, 2002, Rockville, MD - IDEAL.com introduces
"Scan-to-GIS" Scanning System for scanning and editing large
format scanned maps in raster like you are in vector. This
"Scan-to-GIS" system is targeted to Mapping Professionals and
provides all the functionality GIS users need to scan maps and to
edit them quickly and easily once they are scanned. . . . . . . .
.
IDEAL.com's "Scan-to-GIS" Scanning System consists of an IDEAL
SuperWIDE 3040 color scanner with scanning and intelligent raster
editing software. IDEAL's 40" wide scanner is perfect for large
format maps where fine line detail is important. Once the maps are
scanned, users can edit these raster images with the same ease
that they edit vector images. The search and replace capabilities
recognize arbitrary raster symbols and match them against
predefined templates. This system includes the ability to
Geo-reference TIFF images and apply file attributes such as scale,
elevation, and extended data, as well as many other GIS functions.
Included with this Scan-to-GIS system is IDEAL's complimentary
online storage service to enable GIS professionals to share their
maps via the web. . . . . . . . .
"This new "Scan-to-GIS" system takes into account the fact
that scanning is only part of the process required to convert
paper maps to digital files," states Jay Magenheim, president of
IDEAL.com. "We want to provide GIS professionals with a scanning
system that enables them to edit their scanned maps as easily in
raster as they do in vector," says Magenheim. IDEAL.com has rolled
out this new "Scan-to-GIS" Scanning System with a low monthly
payment lease. . . . . . . . .
IDEAL.com develops, markets, and supports a wide range of
color and monochrome scanning solutions for large format drawings
and technical documents including Scan to Web and Print from Web
solutions. For more information on IDEAL's "Scan-to-GIS" Scanning
System, contact Kathy Magenheim at 301-468-0123 or via email at kmagenheim@ideal.com.
