Screenshot VPmap Series V1 - Overview

VPmap Series bridges the gap between raw mapping material and geographical information systems. VPmap and VPmap pro provide professional interactive tools to create, georeference, and edit spatial data and attribute information from scanned maps for transfer into GIS. Simply convert raster maps into vector-based maps, utilize intelligent attribute-definition functions, and add individual attributes. The  VPmap Series will be targeted at GIS applications, mainly to transfer scanned maps into ArcGIS (ESRI), MapInfo, Autodesk Map etc. Thus, VPmap Series products contain GeoTIFF, Shapefile SHP, and MIF support for import and export explicitly to and from any common GIS platform
 


Raster Conversion:

VPmap Series imports almost any raster file format. Just scan your maps, or use satellite images as the first step to build up your geographical information system (GIS). Both products support easy, interactive tools to vectorize and recognize outlines and even reduce the color depth by intelligent color handling. In addition, VPmap pro offers functions for automatic vectorization and symbol recognition.

Attribute Determination:
VPmap Series features sophisticated ways to simply recognize shape-based geometrical information and convert them to geographical attributes of entities. In addition you can define or import your own attribute tables and fill them interactively.

Geographical Information Query:
VPmap Series enables quick input of attribute-based queries. Results will be visually displayed in the image or drawing.

Export:
VPmap Series offers export possibilities to the most common GIS systems, like
MapInfo, ArcGIS/ArcInfo, or Autodesk Map. Raster information will be exported as well as entities an their attributs.
