What is Raster. ID? Raster. ID is an image editing software that primarily focusses on image refining of scanned raster drawings and recognizing & indexing Title Block texts within an image. It also has a huge arsenal of tools for color image processing and batch operations. Raster Image Processing Software Output Indexing Software Post-Scan Image Refining/Restoring software Batch Processing Software Title Block Recognition Software Color Image Enhancing Software

Raster. ID 3. 6 Vs Raster. ID 2018 Raster. ID 3. 6 Raster. ID 2018 Developed using C++ Developed using the latest. NET C# technology Scanning & Refining Software Post Scan Refining Software Uses inbuilt OCR as its default uses a third party OCR ABBYY Fine. Reader engine as Integrated OCR ABBYY Cloud OCR Service Manual edit function for Title Block Recognition is not present Manual edit function for Title Block Recognition is present Image Classifier Present Image Classifier absent Primitive copy-paste functionality Enhanced copy-paste functionality

Raster. ID 3. 6 & Raster. ID 2018 Raster. ID 3. 6 Raster. ID 2018 Multi-page image processing features are primitive Enhanced features on Multi-page Images Output Indexing formats include Excel, MS-Access, CSV Text File & ODBC connection Output Indexing formats include Excel, MS-Access, CSV Text File, SQL & My. SQL database formats Selective Hue changer absent Selective Hue changer present Batch mode outputs include saving in a new location/replacing existing files Batch mode outputs include saving as Multi-page Tif/PDF formats along with the existing types. Image stitching/ Filter Commands absent Image stitching using dual reference points / Filter Commands present Localization feature is absent Localization feature is present Area-wise speckle/hole removing utility absent Area-wise speckle/hole removing utility present

Challenges in Raster. ID 3. 6 • Software has not been upgraded/developed for years • Not very compatible with the latest OS…resulting in severe installation hazards • The latest versions of DBMS connectivity for indexed output does not work properly

Unique Features of Raster. ID 2018 • • Manual edit for Title Block Recognition Inclusion of ABBYY Cloud OCR service as an optional OCR engine Localization Enhanced modes of Buffer Management & Copy-Paste function Image Stitching based on dual reference points Multi-page Tif/PDF as additional Batch processing output format SQL & My. SQL Database as Indexed Output Database Creation/Editing of Multi-Page Tiff files

Business Prospects of Raster. ID 2018 Can be supplied as an add-on product for scanner/plotter vendors Can be used by the Jobber Sector for raster image enhancement Can be used by the vendors for Document Management Service Can be bundled as a complimentary package with other software for extra value addition • Raster. ID image enhancement features can be integrated into class library/API to be reused in Software Development firms. • •

Wish List for Raster. ID 2018 • Feature wise: – New File Format support: In Future, Raster. ID is going to support many more Raster Formats in addition to the default formats. – Different annotation objects like Polygon, Polyline, and Bezier Curves etc. would be included eventually – Paint-Brush palette would include both Foreground & Background colors to be marked separately – Rectangular Warping & Image superimposition to be included – A New state-of-the-art Design would be implemented. – It would have the feature to attach various cloud drive(s) for simplifying upload/download to/from the drives and give the software an edge in image transfer through network.

Wish List for Raster. ID 2018 • Raster. ID image editing functionalities can be integrated together to form a sellable class library/API. • Raster. ID API can be attached with CSPanorama as a value-add plug-in. • Raster. ID OCR capabilities can be used as input for EDA.
