ArcScan for ArcGIS provides raster-to-vector conversion tools for creating GIS vector feature data from scanned maps. Scanned image data can be converted to vector-based feature layers, such as shapefiles and geodatabase feature classes, using both interactive and batch tools.

ArcScan for ArcGIS also supports the ability to select raster cells to define the scope of vectorization, aid in raster cleanup, or create a new image.

ArcScan for ArcGIS simplifies the data automation process by providing a method and tools to clean up scanned paper maps and vectorize lines and polygons.

• Perform automatic or interactive raster-to-vector data conversion with high precision.
• Create shapefile or geodatabase line and polygon features directly from raster images.
• Use raster snapping capabilities to make interactive vectorization more accurate and efficient.
• Prepare images for vectorization with simple raster editing.
