 Hello, welcome back on my YouTube channel. In today's video, I'm going to evaluate a new plugin that uses AI for digitizing. It's called the Bunting Labs AI Vectorizer plugin. Let's see what it can do. I'll install the plugin, but before we're going to check it out, I click here on Home Page, which you should always do when you install a plugin, because it will give you some more information. Website looks great with nice examples of what it can do. It also has a Frequently Asked Questions section, and there are some installation instructions, and it looks really simple. So let's just give it a try. And for the test, we're going to use the Mount Marci topographical map that we also use in our courses and the Book DJI's for hydrological application. Plugin has added a new icon to my toolbar, but before we can start using it, I need to create a new vector layer, and I'm going to create a Geo package. Call it Mount Marci, that area here, and I'll start with Rivers. And as a geometry type, I choose a line string. I choose the projection of this map. Let's also add an attribute with the name of the river and add it to the fields list and click OK. Now I toggle on the editing, and I can use this icon now. There's a little introduction here. So I need to accept the terms of service because it's going to send data to a server, and I need an account. So I'm going to type here my email address, and the service is free with access to 2000 completions per month. So here I use my email address and click Create Account. Then I receive an email that I need to verify my account. And after verifying the account, I click I've clicked the link. And just wait a little bit because it will then get you started. You'll get this popup with six steps. Load a roster layer to digitize, create a new shapefile layer, toggle to editing mode, click the icon of this plugin, and start tracing. And hold down the Shift key to cut the tracing. So let's click Get Started. Although the instructions were mentioning Shapefile, we'll try it on our geopacket. So I click this icon to start digitizing, and let's start with this river. I go from upstream to downstream, and after two clicks, it already connects to the internet and completes my line faster than I could do. So this really looks promising. So far so good, but here it takes a wrong junction. When I hold the Shift button, I can go back where it was on the right path and give it a few hints, and then it will continue. Sometimes you need to wait a bit, but then it will finish the line. Now this is the first line. Click right to complete it. And let's change the color a bit so it's clearer. And then we'll do some more tests. Let's use this blue line. So here you see what we've digitized. Now I'm going to create a new geopacket layer for lakes. I call the table name lakes, and I choose here from geometry type that's polygon, and I choose the projection of the map, and also there an attribute with the name of the lake. I choose to add it as a new layer to our geopacket. Let's toggle on editing mode, zoom in a bit, and click on the icon of the plugin and start digitizing the lake. There it goes. That looks good, but it gets more complicated. So here it takes a wrong junction. So I guess I need to correct here a bit more, and then let the rivers, because it's quite a complicated shape. So with shift I can always go back, and then continue from there, give it a few hints, and it will continue. So together with AI, AI assisted I can digitize this lake in an easier way than if I would do it completely manually. Now let's try it on an easier lake. It takes to grid, took the wrong junction. I'm going to help a bit past the grid line, and there it goes. Just need to help it sometime. Let's try some contour lines. I create a new geopacket layer in the same database. I call it contours. The line string could also be polygons. Use the same projection and an attribute set, which is a decimal number. Add it to the field list, and add it as a new layer. And let's start. Let's start with the 700 meter line. Toggle on editing mode, click the icon of the plugin, and give a few points. There it goes. And it seems that it works better if you kind of pull it over the line, and it goes very fast. You see that this one works very nicely. Conclusion is that this is a really great plugin that helps you tracing vectors in a very easy and fast way. When it gets difficult, you have the chance to correct the algorithm, but it really speeds up the digitization process.
