Representation of point, line, and area features in raster format (left) and vector format (right).
This illustration shows elevation grids derived from LIDAR data at the canopy level (a) and the ground level (b). The difference between (a) and (b) is the estimated tree height (c). The process of deriving an elevation grid (or DEM) from LIDAR data is as follows: convert LIDAR data to a TIN (triangulated irregular network), and use linear interpolation to convert the TIN to a grid.
Row 1: 0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0 Row 2: 0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0 Row 3: 0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0 Row 4: 0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0 Row 5: 0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0 Row 6: 0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0 Row 7: 0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0 Row 8: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 The cell-by-cell data structure records each cell value by row and column.
Row 1: 5,6 Row 2: 4,6 Row 3: 3,7 Row 4: 3,7 Row 5: 3,7 Row 6: 2,7 Row 7: 2,7 The run length encoding method records the cell values in runs. Row 1, for example, has two adjacent cells in columns 5 and 6 that are gray or have the value of 1. Row 1 is therefore encoded with one run, beginning in column 5 and ending in column 6. The same method is used to record other rows.

The block codes method works with square blocks. The region in the diagram is divided into three unit square blocks, one 4-square block, and one 25-square block. Each block is encoded with the coordinates of its lower left corner.
The regional quad tree method divides a grid into a hierarchy of quadrants. The division stops when a quadrant is made of cells of the same value (gray or white). A quadrant that cannot be subdivided is called a leaf node. In the diagram, the quadrants are indexed spatially: 0 for NW, 1 for SW, 2 for SE, and 3 for NE. Using the spatial indexing method and the hierarchical quad tree structure, the gray cells can be coded as 02, 032, and so on. See text for more explanation.
A The grid in solid line is a new grid created by transforming the grid in dashed lines. Re-sampling is required to fill the value of each cell in the new grid such as cell A.
On the left is an example of conversion from vector to raster data, or rasterization. On the right is an example of conversion from raster to vector data, or vectorization.
