RTV -- Raster to Vector Conversion

Takes as its input a raster image held in a channel on a PCIDSK file (preferably one which has been classified and/or well filtered). RTV then outputs vector data describing the boundaries and/or interior points of the areas (polygons) in the image. The generated vector data is stored in a created vector segment in the file.

One application of RTV is to convert raster data to vector data for export to a vector Geographic Information System (GIS).

Note: Do NOT use RTV to create contour vectors from an elevation (DEM) image. Use the CONTOUR program instead.

Progress of this program can be monitored. See MONITOR section.
