Automatic Digitizing...

...what a good idea! Too bad we are so far from being able to get quality from it.
The central failure is a simple one. Most two-dimensional graphics imply some sort of depth. Conveying that element, that impression of 3D effect, is the biggest failure of any auto digitizer. When to eliminate an element of the graphic, when to add one, when to embellish and when to down-play... its an art form.
Don't mis-understand me. Some simplistic line-art or text-based graphics can be auto-digitized with excellent results. Anything complicated,however... I'm sorry but for now, we have to rely on human eyes and human hands.
