It can vectorize graphics and photographs and trace the curves to output compact vector files. Comparing to Potrace, VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored images. VTracer skips Potrace's expensive optimal-polygon search in favor of a fast, linear pipeline that stays faithful to high-resolution images. Comparing to Adobe Illustrator's Image Trace, VTracer's output is much more compact as we adopt a stacking strategy and avoid producing shapes with holes. VTracer is originally designed for processing high resolution scans of historic blueprints up to gigapixels. At the same time, VTracer can also handle low resolution pixel art, simulating image-rendering: pixelated for retro game artworks. Technical descriptions of the tracing algorithm and clustering algorithm. Desktop App VTracer App powered by the 1.0 tracing engine: + Native speed : faster conversions on large images + A/B comparator : compare the trace against the original + Curve inspector : inspect fitted curves up close + Curve simplification : fewer nodes, often half the file size + Seam-free cutout : gapless shapes with shared boundaries + Watershed clustering : edge-aware regions for sharper image traces + Adaptive B/W thresholding : cleaner traces from uneven scans and photos + Fixed ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/visioncortex","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/visioncortex/vtracer/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
