ARCTOGRAPHER SOFTWARE
 
  ARCTOGRAPHER has been designed for all users of high resolution imaging. It has two functions.  
 
Arctographer as a production tool
 
 
For libraries and archives that have collections of photographs, postcards, files etc and who need to turn these into a digital  archive for public access, this process can be very time consuming.
Usually achieved by the individual scanning  and processing of each document. 
Now you can use a high resolution digital camera such as the Phase One (see our website) with the capability to capture many documents simultaneously by filling the frame. This 'multi' image is the taken by Arctographer and automatically separated into individual  image and can be saved out in several image formats.  At the same time, a low resolution index image is saved to build up a quick reference library.  Captured items can be of different sizes and shapes and can be titled individually or as a group with incremental file names.
 
 
This multi capture is made in a single scan.
Arctographer will separate the 12 individual documents and save them in the required standard formats. Pre titled, irregular objects are separated as rectangular files
.
 
 
 
 
At the same time a low resolution copy of the whole file is saved with the file name of each individual image imprinted to create a quick reference library of your captures.
 
 
 
 

Arctographer can be used in this mode to dramatically increase the throughput of document capture, and the organisation of your digital files. When used in conjunction with ARCHANGEL SOFTWARE. It creates the ideal way to present your photographic, postcard or letter collections to the public.


 
 
Arctographer as an image separator
 
 

Many Archives have in their collections multi layered documents such as scrapbooks or letter folders.

 
 
 
 
Using Arctographer provides a simple manual way to separate these single capture multiple images into individual incrementally titled files.
Newspapers can be captured and individual items separated out for easy reference.
 
 
 
 
Many maps in archives are large format. These are easily damaged in the reading room. To make them available in digital format in the high resolution required for functionality dictates that file sizes are huge. And so difficult to open.. ARCTOGRAPHER now creates a unique package format for ARCHANGEL that enables these maps to be easily opened and viewed in high resolution. Used in Record offices to allow readers access to TITHE map collections. The one map to one self running CD format means that these maps ,some up to 5 mtrs x 4 mtrs can be easily distributed either internally or sent to the reader who can not come to Archive.
 
 
 
 

The whole map is shown in reduced view for navigation. When desired map section is
selected a full resolution image is quickly displayed.

This can be searched and printed.
