 Abstract

This research builds upon a previous method of vectorisation of pixel art by pixel neighbour connecting and boundary energy minimisation. The downside of the previous method is the lack of user input throughout the process and possible divergence between the results and the artist’s vision. The proposed method uses the first part of previous method to connect neighbour pixels and continues with a spring simulation of the boundaries. A process that can be heavily user-guided with adjusting the stiffness of the springs. Results show the proposed method to achieve higher variance in the results, possibly resulting in output images closer to the artist’s vision. However, introduce lengthy process for the user that can be removed by providing higher level GUI.
