raster to vector
raster to vector
(OP)
Hello
I have an oppertunity to bid on scanning and converting jobs for several of the businesses in my area. I have an extensive drafting, design, and cad background and have worked in raster to vector conversion in the past. However that has been many years ago. I have not kept up on any of the advances in the software and hardware.
Can any one reccomend scanners and software for this and what kind of quality can I expect? The paper files I will be addressing are 25-50 years old and a wide range of condition and legibility.
I've managed many projects tho they were all from new designs and have not had to bid for any job like this. But it is a good oppertunity to advance and create a better future for me and my family. Any suggestions, tips or assistance would be helpful.
Thank you.

It might also be a much faster way than using a traditional scanner. You would need a setup as used for copy-work, but plenty of literature is available on this subject.
There is software for map-reproduction which can filter the images to a resonably degree, most of it is available in a limited free version.
I have used WinTopo, which works fine after a little testing on the settings.
