converts drawings to the raster file format. These drawings are then vectorized to make
them CAD compatible, i.e., they are converted to the vector
- file format.Powerful Raster to Vector Conversion Software for
are used for this purpose; with some software having built-in OCR (Optical Character
Recognition),ICR( Intelligent Character Reading), OMR(Optical Mark Reading) and Color
Image Processing capabilities. Color Image Processing enables the vectorization of color
maps and drawings, by converting them to monochrome color. This technology
- enables
designers the world over to make the crucial decision to convert. With electronically
maintained drawings, they do not need to worry about safety in
- the preservation and
maintenance of the drawings. CD-ROMs are fairly reliable and last for an appreciable
period with all stored drawings and maps intact.
