IDEAL.com Begins Shipping New WiseImage Pro GEO Software
GIS Scanning Bundle Offers WiseImage Power with IDEAL/Contex Scanning Accuracy
April 26, 2004, Rockville, MD - IDEAL.com today announced U.S. availability of Consistent Software's new WiseImage Pro (GEO Edition). This new product rounds out IDEAL's offerings to the GIS market. Bundled with any IDEAL/Contex large format scanner, WiseImage GEO makes a powerful GIS system that combines fast, high accuracy, full color, scanning technology with the most powerful raster drawing editor and raster-to-vector converter customized for the cadastral and GIS market.
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
