Summary

ESRIreg; ArcScan for ArcGISreg; is one of the available extensions for the ArcGIS Desktop products ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcViewreg;. ArcScan for ArcGIS is an extension that enables the conversion from raster data to vector features. This process is commonly referred to as vectorization. ArcScan for ArcGIS can be used to vectorize raster data automatically or interactively by tracing raster cells. ArcScan for ArcGIS also supports the ability to select raster cells and perform simple raster editing, which can help define the scope of the vectorization. You will learn how to: Prepare the ArcMap environment for vectorization. Use the cell selection tools. Perform simple raster editing. Use the raster snapping tools. Interactively trace raster cells. Perform automatic vectorization. Begin by following the quick-start tutorial to get an overview of how to execute the basic ArcScan functions. If you prefer, jump right in and experiment on your own. When you have questions, you will find concise, step-by-step answers inside, fully illustrated, to help you complete a task.

Author Biography

The books are written by a variety of GIS specialists who spend most of their time writing the software. Many have been with ESRI for 10+ years and have written previous software documentation and ESRI Press titles.
