If you have a big raster, it’ll probably be more worth your while to use method #1. While this method is simpler since it doesn’t involve downloading the 3rd-party tool Potrace, note it’s more intensive and therefore slower than Potrace. To classify a raster and convert groups of pixels to polygons, send it through the RasterToPolygonCoercer.
Like #1, this involves defining color ranges and outputting polygons based on those ranges.įME has support for a lot of raster and imagery formats, as well as a lot of very powerful functionality for working with rasters.
This is also known as “classifying” a raster and involves generating a polygon for each contiguous area of pixels with similar values. Extract polygons from a raster based on pixel values Learn more about converting imagery into usable data in our blog about extracting geospatial data from PDFs. The text shown in the PNG image on the left has been extracted using the TesseractCaller.

Acme CAD Converter (10.0MB) 2021.3.8 - All-in-one DWG Converter and free DWG Viewer. Preparing the output involves smoothing the polygons generated by Potrace so we end up with nice blocky shapes instead of crazy 1000-sided chiliagons. Acme TraceArt (1.75MB) 2013.12.12 - Raster to Vector converter. Preparing the raster therefore involves classifying color ranges so the number of colors is reduced - extracting the dark shade representing buildings and leaving everything else as the background. In the image, buildings are shown in a darker shade. In the below example, the user has an RGB image of an area and needs to extract CAD polygons of buildings. Converting raster to vector in this context involves three steps: In FME, you can leverage it via the custom transformer PotraceCaller. Potrace is a free tool for turning bitmaps into vector graphics. Trace an image to convert it to CAD or GIS Here are three ways you can do it by processing your raster in an FME data integration workflow. There are many possible ways to tackle these problems, some easier than others, some more accurate. Maybe you’d like to digitize a scanned map, convert a DEM to polygons based on elevation, extract text from an image, or otherwise generate polygons from a supplied image. This is a common scenario for GIS and CAD workflows, and a challenging one. Extracting vector features from an image (or “vectorizing a raster”) involves converting groups of raster pixels into polygons.
