Vextractor is a vectorizer program for transforming raster images into vector formats by building centerlines and outlines. This tool could be used for the vectorizing photo, logotypes and other line art images for use in Vector Graphics Design software. You can also vectorize charts, drawings, maps and schemes for input to CAD or GIS systems.
Main features of
Vextractor:
Input raster formats: BMP, GIF, TIFF, GeoTIFF, JPEG, PCX, TGA, PNG, RAS, PBM, PGM, PPM, WBMP, ICO;
Output format for vector information: AutoCAD DXF, DXB, WMF, EMF, ArcView Shapefiles, MapInfo MID/MIF, ASCII XYZ, Scalable Vector Graphic - SVG, Encapsulated PostScript - EPS, Adobe Illustrator - AI, ILDA Image Data Transfer Format;

Update history of Vextractorv4.70 (November, 13. 2009)
Added new raster conversion method - adaptive threshold for making a black-and-white images.
v4.61 (September, 12. 2009)
Bugfix release.
v4.60 (May, 31. 2009)
New outline splines creation method with sharp corner recognition.
Work for monochrome and palette images.
v4.51 (April, 29. 2009)
Fixed bug in photo vectorization for 8bpp palette images.
New command line options: morphological filters erode/dilate/opening/closing.
Some minor bugs fixed.
v4.50 (April, 12. 2009)
Smart trace algorithm was modified for better processing of line crossings.
Now contour smoothing will be adaptive to line width.
v4.40 (March, 11. 2009)
Drawing and map vectorization has been significantly improved. Now you can get better results on very noised images.
v4.20 (November, 25. 2008)
Centerline vectorization was speeded up.
v4.12 (November, 5. 2008)
Solved a problem with 64bit OS compatibility (Windows XP/Vista x64).
v4.11 (October, 17. 2008)
Fixed bug in EPS and AI output. Image resolution was wrong after conversion to black-and-white pallete.
v4.00 (August, 9. 2008)
Drawing vectorization has been significantly improved. Now vectorization
give a match better results on noised images.
All raster preprocessing algorithms was optimized.
