Sextante has a raster to vector conversion function - that can help in certain instances. though - depends on the data you have and if there are gaps to bridge.

Is anyone aware of a raster tracing tool for geospatial users released under an open source license? I’m looking for something similar to:

I found the Autotrace program (http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/), but it seems to be a little more limited, and not geared to the GIS user. Vextractor allows you to georeference your tracing output and supports export of the traced vectors to SHP and DXF.

The price for a single license of Vextractor isn’t bad ($99 US), but I’d love to find a similar open source project. I’ve thought about trying to write something up using JTS, but I know it would be a very challenging project. I’d like to know if any of you have worked on open source projects in this area.

Thanks for any info.
