AUTOCAD RASTER DESIGN 2008 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
4
Feature Description Benefit
IMPROVED
Despeckle
Despeckle successive areas in
an image without having to
repeat the command or change
settings.
Prompting within the Despeckle
command has been
streamlined to reduce
keystrokes.
It is now easier and faster to
despeckle successive areas within
a drawing and process multiple
drawings in a session.
Tonal
adjustment
Use a nonlinear contrast curve
to improve the appearance of
scanned photos and satellite
imagery.
Improve the clarity and usefulness
of scanned imagery by bringing
detail out of the shadows without
affecting highlights.
Palette Manager Examine and manage the
colors in an image. For
example, determine which
colors are actually used,
combine colors to highlight or
eliminate image details, and
change selective colors.
Standardize the use of color
images, improve efficiency of color
usage in images, and improve
control of transparency color
selection.
Rubbersheeting Automate control point
selection for grid points using
triangular or polynomial
transformation methods.
Improve accuracy and get more
predictable results.
Edit images by
smoothing raster
geometry
Use the bitonal filters to clean
up raster images scanned from
paper drawings. Use these
filters with other cleanup
commands such as Despeckle
and Deskew.
Get the full value from scanned
drawings. Transform old, illegible
data into useful design information.
Support for
multispectral
imagery
Use and analyze multispectral
data from sources such as
Landsat, IKONOS, and others.
Color-map bands of visual,
infrared, and thermal data to
show features such as
vegetation or urban
development in false color
displays.
Use new sources of information for
better analysis and decision
making.
Support for DEM
format data
Analyze DEM (digital elevation
model) data for elevation,
slope, and aspect. Use color-
mapped DEM files for
interpretation and map
composition.
Take advantage of easily obtained,
low-cost data for timely and
effective evaluations and
presentations. Use DEM data as
input for site analysis.
