WiseImage Pro GEO
|
WiseImage Pro GEO is a standalone raster processing application customized for the
cadastral and geo market. The application has advanced tools for handling maps, the
unique raster to vector technology, a Windows XP-style interface and support for VBS
and JavaScript. WiseImage Pro GEO is the ultimate solution for customers who work
with both raster and vector data. In WiseImage Pro GEO the user can utilize the power
of the raster-vector imagery editor and the raster to contour converter using a
fantastic set of original geo focused processing tools including the ability to
develop custom scripts. Multiple raster images can be loaded and the number of images
handled simultaneously is virtually unlimited. WiseImage Pro GEO allows editing,
updating, and converting (both semi-automatically and automatically) scanned maps,
parcel maps, plans, aerial photography, sketches, and other raster graphics to vector
data. In addition, WiseImage GEO can drive all models of IDEAL/Contex scanners, thus
reducing system cost by eliminating the need for additional scanner operating software.

IDEAL/CONTEX Scanners
|
IDEAL/Contex Scanners offer Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) technology for our
entire range of scanners. While most scanner manufacturers state+-0.1% accuracy
between the two end-points of the scan line, (ALE) is an electronic correction
of spherical errors in CCD based camera-scanning systems, which enables IDEAL/Contex
scanners to maintain precision across any two points of the scan line. GIS
professionals require a high grade of precision stability in the scanned image
with a well-defined maximum deviation of 0.1% or less. IDEAL/Contex scanners
exceed, even the most rigid requirements in the industry today.
"The power of WiseImage GEO combined with the high accuracy of an IDEAL/Contex
scanner enables GIS professionals to accurately scan maps and easily edit the
raster files with the WiseImage GEO focused interface," says Jay Magenheim,
president of IDEAL. "With the ability to create a variety of User Coordinate
Systems, including the World Coordinate System and the automatic or semi-automatic
recognition of polygons and contours that might be contained in parcel maps, aerial
photography and other raster imagery, WiseImage GEO improves GIS workflow."
Other features in WiseImage GEO include:
- Special technique to automatically convert closed raster polygons to vector polylines
- Basic and advanced color editing tools allowing extraction and digitization of images from within color scans
- Block attributes (with text recognition) for data management
- The ability to create multilayer raster images and to mosaic them according to the coordinate system being used
- Performance TIFF options, AutoCAD's DWG/DXF, LizardTech MrSID, ER Mapper, plot files, ESRI Shp files, DGN and PDF file format support
- Objects selection and separation tools
- Automatic polyline correction
- Rubber sheeting by full or incomplete grid, by reference object or by points
- 10 sophisticated calibration methods
- Ability to create special geo scripts using its own Editor Studio
