Vectorization

Step-by-Step Guide to Vectorisation

From the Image View Screen:

  1. Click 'Vectorize': Find this button in the edit tab on the right-hand side info bar.

  2. Alternative Method: Go to "Images" > "Vectorize" from the left menu.

Select Your Image

  • Choose an image from your Library or upload one from your computer.


Choose Your Settings

  • You can select one of our pre-configured presets for optimal results.


Customize Settings

  • Alternatively, you can modify the settings to suit your specific needs.

Vectorisation Parameters Explained

Remove Background

Definition: This parameter removes the background from the image, focusing only on the foreground objects.
Significance: Removing the background can help isolate the main subject, making the vectorization process more efficient and resulting in cleaner, more focused vector graphics.

Color Clustering

Definition: Color clustering groups similar colors together to simplify the image before vectorization.
Significance: By reducing the number of colors, color clustering helps create a cleaner and more manageable vector image, improving performance and reducing file size.

Filter Speckle

Definition: This parameter removes small, unwanted artifacts or "speckles" from the image.
Significance: Filtering out speckles enhances the overall quality of the vectorized image by eliminating noise that can detract from the clarity and precision of the final result.

Color Precision

Definition: Color precision determines how accurately colors are represented in the vectorized image.
Significance: Higher color precision ensures that the vector image closely matches the original, while lower precision may be used to simplify the image and reduce complexity.

Layer Difference

Definition: This parameter controls the differentiation between layers in the vectorized image.
Significance: Properly setting the layer difference can help distinguish different parts of the image, ensuring that the vector graphic accurately represents the original's structure and depth.

Curve Detection

Definition: Curve detection identifies and preserves curves in the original image during vectorization.
Significance: Effective curve detection results in smoother, more natural-looking vector graphics, which are particularly important for images with a lot of curved lines.

Corner Threshold

Definition: This parameter determines the sensitivity of corner detection in the image.
Significance: Adjusting the corner threshold helps in accurately identifying sharp corners and angles, which is crucial for creating precise and detailed vector graphics.

Length Threshold

Definition: The length threshold defines the minimum length of line segments that are considered during vectorization.
Significance: Setting the appropriate length threshold ensures that only significant line segments are included, reducing unnecessary detail and simplifying the vector image.

Splice Threshold

Definition: Splice threshold determines how closely line segments must be to be joined together.
Significance: Adjusting the splice threshold helps in creating continuous, smooth lines in the vector image, enhancing the overall quality and coherence of the final graphic.

Test Results and Best Practices
