Improving Image Tracing with Convolutional Autoencoders by High-Pass Filter Preprocessing (2306.09039v1)
Published 15 Jun 2023 in cs.CV
Abstract: The process of transforming a raster image into a vector representation is known as image tracing. This study looks into several processing methods that include high-pass filtering, autoencoding, and vectorization to extract an abstract representation of an image. According to the findings, rebuilding an image with autoencoders, high-pass filtering it, and then vectorizing it can represent the image more abstractly while increasing the effectiveness of the vectorization process.
