Bentley Releases MicroStation Descartes V8 with Full 24-bit Image Editing; Special 'Open it Up' Competitive Upgrade Promotion, Through September.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers ATLANTIC CITY Atlantic City, city (1990 pop. 37,986), Atlantic co., SE N.J., an Atlantic resort and convention center; settled c.1790, inc. 1854. Situated on Absecon Island, a barrier island 10 mi (16. , N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002 Bentley Systems Bentley Systems, Incorporated, provides software for the "Design, construction and operation of the world's infrastructure". The company’s software serves the building, plant, civil, and geospatial vertical markets in the areas of architecture, engineering, construction (AEC) , Incorporated today announced that it has released MicroStation(R) Descartes(TM) for MicroStation(R) V8. MicroStation Descartes is a comprehensive imaging solution for mapping, visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all and raster-to-vector conversion projects. Designed for both production and visualization, MicroStation Descartes is used worldwide by engineers and planners in many disciplines, including Civil Engineering, Plant Design, Geoengineering, Facilities, and Architectural Design This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.

MicroStation Descartes adds a wide range of high-performance raster The horizontal lines (scan lines) displayed on a TV or computer monitor. This is the origin of the term "raster graphics," which is the major category that all bitmapped images and video frames fall into (GIF, JPEG, MPEG, etc.). functionality to MicroStation, allowing users to edit and manipulate black and white and color imagery for a variety of engineering, document conversion, mapping, visualization, and presentation purposes. Descartes has tools to warp warp: see weaving. (1) See OS/2 Warp. (2) A parallel processor developed at Carnegie-Mellon University that was the predecessor of iWARP.

MicroStation Descartes can also be customized to workflows where automation and interface customization is required. Through September 2002, Bentley is offering a promotional price for Descartes for users of competitive products such as I/RAS C(TM). During the "Open it Up" promotion, registered users of I/RAS C can "upgrade" to Descartes V8 for $888. Carey Mann, vice president of Industry and Product Marketing, commented, "Most vendors require multiple distinct products to achieve the one stop imaging that Descartes provides. And raster is now so tightly integrated into MicroStation and the V8 Generation foundation that MicroStation Descartes is a compelling choice for MicroStation users." MicroStation Descartes V8 includes significant performance improvements and many exciting new features. Key capabilities of MicroStation Descartes V8 include: -- High-performance full-color display engine for binary, gray scale and color images (1, 4, 8, 11 and 24 bits) -- Native support (no conversion required) on a large range of industry-standard raster file formats and compression methods -- Viewing and editing of Mr. SID and ECW files -- Visualization with image draping using 3D terrain models -- Image placement and warping tools on image selection sets -- Image visualization capabilities include mosaics and montages, corridor and plan sheet alignment, vector stamping (rasterization) and raster drafting -- Color editing brushes and filters -- Automated and semi-automated raster-to-vector conversion, text recognition and OCR replacement -- Serves as a Bentley Publisher client About Bentley Bentley Systems, Incorporated is a global provider of collaborative software This is a list of collaborative software (or list of groupware) applications.
