What is ARC scan?
ArcScan provides tools that allow you to convert scanned images into vector-based feature layers. The process of converting raster data to vector features is known as vectorization. Vectorization can be performed manually by interactively tracing raster cells or automatically using the automatic mode.
Do you need to enable arcscan in ArcMap?
As with other ArcGIS extensions, you must enable the ArcScan extension in ArcMap before you can use it. You must also add the ArcScan toolbar to your map to access the tools and commands that support the vectorization workflow.
What can I do with the arcscan toolbar?
The ArcScan toolbar is how you access the ArcScan functionality. The Raster Painting toolbar supports a variety of tools designed for drawing and erasing raster cells. Vectorization settings are some of the most important components of the ArcScan extension.
What do you need to know about arcscan?
ArcScan supports the ability to select raster cells. Connected raster cells are raster pixels that share contiguous borders. This can be in a side-by-side or diagonal arrangement. This functionality allows you to select portions of the raster for various reasons, such as vectorization, export, or removal.
Why do you need arcscan for Raster editing?
ArcScan provides an efficient way to streamline this integration when compared to traditional techniques, such as digitizing. The ArcScan extension also provides tools that allow you to perform simple raster editing to prepare your raster layers for vectorization.
