Comparison to
ARDECO
ARDECO
|
We compare against method described in Gregory Lecot, Bruno Lévy, ARDECO: Automatic Region DEtection and Conversion, Eurographics Symposium on Rendering, 2006 The results were created with the author's original implementation, available here: http://alice.loria.fr/WIKI/index.php/Graphite/Ardeco Please note: most vectorization tools, such as ARDECO, are designed for much larger input images. In the paper we give a detailed explanation for why they perform less successfully on tiny pixel art inputs. The results below do not make a statement about the quality one can achieve on input images within the design range of these tools, they merely show that there is a need for specialized algorithms for very tiny images. It should also be noted that our algorithm does not generalize to large images with noise or anti-aliased edges. Click here to see some very nice ARDECO results on such challenging images. |
