What can you do with ArcScan? ArcScan provides tools that allow you to convert scanned images into vector-based feature layers. ArcScan also supports the ability to select and edit raster cells to help you refine the image you are working with. When combined, these tools extend ArcMap software by providing new techniques for integrating features derived from raster imagery into your geographic information system (GIS). Automatic vectorization One of the key features of the ArcScan extension is its ability to automatically convert raster data into vector features. This process, known as automatic vectorization, can significantly reduce the time it takes to vectorize scanned images. ArcScan supports two types of vectorization methods: centerline and outline. Depending on your requirements and the type of scanned images you are working with, the vectorization method you employ will vary. The image below shows a raster display of contour lines. The image below shows centerline vectorization of contour lines. Automatic vectorization requires settings that influence how the output vector features are generated. These settings, also known as styles, can be saved and reused with raster images that possess similar characteristics. Interactive vectorization Along with automatic vectorization, you can also generate features manually. This process is known as interactive vectorization and is similar to the existing techniques used to create features with the Editor. Interactive vectorization consists of several components: raster snapping, raster tracing and shape recognition. Raster snapping The ArcScan extension supports the ability to snap to raster cells. Although not required for raster tracing, raster snapping can help ensure that you create features accurately. You can snap to ras
