What is the Smart Digitizer tool?
The Smart Digitizer is a semi-automatic digitizing tool created by GeoTango International Corporation that uses a pattern-recognition process to quickly extract feature lines and polygons from a wide variety of remotely sensed images, such as high- and low-resolution satellite imagery, aerial photos, optical images, hyperspectral images, and radar data. Its line-fitting algorithm greatly reduces the number of points that you must digitize in order to capture the outline of a feature and produces a better approximation of image features than the straight-line segments gathered between manually entered points. The Smart Digitizer is available only if you have a license for it. You can use the Smart Digitizer to digitize polygonal, thin-line, and thick-line features. Polygonal features are regions within an image and include lakes, buildings, classes in a thematic image, agricultural fields, and so on.
