WiseImage 11 for Windows - CAD with
a clear image
WiseImage has become the perfect combination of a 2D CAD
package including an image processing application. It blends raster and
vector, productivity and precision, CAD functionality and image processing
capabilities perfectly - everything in just one cost-effective application.
Now WiseImage is a better CAD application than your
favorite CAD package. Native CAD-style interface with command line and
layouts with viewports, combined with high-end image processing, results in
a strong synergetic effect! WiseImage 11 works with DWG files exactly as a
CAD application and processes raster files as the best image processing
application. This makes WiseImage 11 a one-stop-solution for a wide range of
applications - GIS, cadastral, aerial and satellite image processing,
architecture, engineering, schematics to mention but a few.
There are 3 versions of WiseImage 11:
One step from scanner to CAD
Large format scanners produce high-quality 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. Built-in is a high-end scanning module called
WiseScan with native support for most wide-format scanners. Image cleanup,
correction, calibration, bit-depth reduction and raster-to-vector conversion
with WiseImage eliminates repetitive and time-consuming manual procedures.
High quality and precision: Image processing at its best
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.
High quality transformation algorithms provide very accurate results.
Full colour images are huge so it is vital to minimize
image file sizes. WiseImage can do this without any loss of information.
Coloured areas can be combined according to colour similarities or by
referring to their distribution frequencies. With the help of this
technology the number of colours in an image can be reduced from millions to
tens.
In WiseImage it is possible to crop, change resolution,
scale, deskew, and calibrate colour and greyscale raster images. It is
possible to change brightness, contrast, hue and saturation and adjust the
colour gamut, improve image quality and apply colour filters. Users can
easily manage the colours of the image and create/edit LUT files using the
Colour Classifier. It is easy to edit, construct or add information onto
these images, even rasterizing vectors to generate raster file as often
required for compliancy purposes. Merging monochrome and colour images is
also a one-click task.
Intelligent raster objects and tracing
WiseImage offers several advanced options for working with
raster and vector data. One such is the unique technology to select raster
objects or separate them into layers. This feature is based on the
intelligent selections and the smart WiseObject (text, hatches, and lines)
selection. The built-in OCR feature can recognize characters and numerals
within the text block that the user is going to modify. WiseImage also
allows the use of external OCR modules - e.g. OCR for Chinese language.
WiseImage has an advanced tracing function (semi-automatic
- interactive raster to vector conversion) for colour, greyscale or
monochrome images. In addition to easy graphic objects tracing in WiseImage,
it is possible to trace raster shapes that correspond with vector templates.
Select a raster shape and WiseImage will automatically match it to the
appropriate vector object from a default Symbol Library or a customized
library created to match user requirements. The polyline tracing feature
includes auto-detection of tracing direction.
WiseImage for CAD and GIS users
WiseImage is fully featured with all typical 2D-CAD tools.
It has an advanced Viewports, Layouts and Layers support. Its vector drawing
and editing capabilities are comparable to any industry-standard 2D CAD
package. Vector objects- such as Text and dimensions have associated Styles
similar to e.g. AutoCAD. WiseImage can read and write most popular CAD and
GIS formats. The data exchange capability of WiseImage makes for a smooth
transition from a CAD or GIS-data digitizing application to WiseImage.
'Pro' means professional
Automatic Raster-to-vector conversion
The professional version of WiseImage is WiseImage Pro. It
features automatic conversion of scanned drawings to CAD files, one-by-one
or in batch mode - even overnight. Conversion after fine-tuning of the
template parameters with the built-in preview allows for very precise
results. Templates can be named, saved and called as required. The original
or custom line styles, widths, text height, and hatch styles are preserved
during conversion. The result of a vectorization will include 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 as a result of a raster-to-vector
conversion, such as merging a group of vectors to an object of a given type
(e.g. some segments to an arc or circle), trimming, extending and more.
Open architecture
WiseImage Pro provides a revolutionary breakthrough in the
way its open architecture and ActiveX technology can be used for automation
and scripting to create vertical adaptations or remove repetitive time
consuming tasks. The COM interface as well as built-in script editor opens
new horizons for 3rd -party developers and advanced users. There are no
other CAD software with raster processing and R2V functionality offering an
open programming interface.
