Content aware tracing for generating vector drawings

Abstract:

Techniques and systems are provided for generating a vector drawing from a raster image. For example, an edge map for a raster image can be obtained, and a point of the edge map can be determined that corresponds to an input position associated with user interaction with a graphical user interface. A search process can be performed to determine an edge point of the edge map corresponding to the input position. Using the search process, the edge point is determined from a neighborhood of points associated with the point of the edge map. Using a plurality of edge points of the edge map (including the determined edge point), a vector drawing segment for a vector drawing representing the raster image can be generated.
