Vextractor

Vextractor, a quick, convenient and handy tool to convert raster images into vector formats.
With the power and abilities of this capable tool you can easily vectorize charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems. The tool allows you to build centerlines and outlines for transforming raster images. The program applies recognition of various graphic elements for the images like; circles, arcs and so on. Inbuilt is as advanced vector graphic editor, useful in cartographic information recognition, supports features for CAD and GIS systems. The other features of the tool are; it is helpful in artistic and designing work, allows in building geometrics of raster images like Bezier splines. It supports various vector formats that are easily imported into packages of vector graphics like, Encapsulated Post Script, Scalable Vector Graphic, and Windows Metafile.
The Win98/Me/NT/2000/XP and 2003 compatible tool also supports the TWAIN32-compatible scanner.

Vextractor is a vectorizer program for transforming raster images into vector formats by building centerlines and outlines. This tool could be used for the vectorizing photo, logotypes and other line art images for use in Vector Graphics Design software. You can also vectorize charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems.
