In order to facilitate the further use of image data in surveying, inspection, construction and production, software is being developed that extracts contours from image material and enables them to be exported in DXF format. The focus of the project is on the fast, simple and accurate extraction of contours from images of a wide variety of devices. For this purpose, filters and algorithms have been preset which can be fine-tuned for a wide range of applications. It is also possible to calibrate a wide range of cameras and recording devices. Distortions caused by lenses are thus removed from the image material. Storing a ratio (e.g. mm/pixel) enables true-to-scale export to DXF format. The software saves an enormous amount of time when generating DXF data from standard image material. Further information on ContourTrace can be found on the official website: www.ContourTrace.com.
