Color by Numbers: Interactive Structuring and Vectorization of Sketch Imagery
Résumé
We present a novel, interactive interface for the integrated cleanup,
neatening, structuring and vectorization of sketch imagery. Converting scanned raster drawings into vector illustrations is a wellresearched set of problems. Our approach is based on a Delaunay
subdivision of the raster drawing. We algorithmically generate a
colored grouping of Delaunay regions that users interactively refine
by dragging and dropping colors. Sketch strokes defined as marking
boundaries of different colored regions are automatically neatened
using Bézier curves, and turned into closed regions suitable for
fills, textures, layering and animation. We show that minimal user
interaction using our technique enables better sketch vectorization
than state of art automated approaches. A user study, further shows
our interface to be simple, fun and easy to use, yet effectively able
to process messy images with a mix of construction lines, noisy
and incomplete curves, sketched with arbitrary stroke style.
