• Authors: Xinyang Jiang, Lu Liu, Caihua Shan, Yifei Shen, Xuanyi Dong, Dongsheng Li
• Abstract summary: We consider a different data format for images: vector graphics. In contrast to graphics which are widely used in image recognition, vector graphics can be scaled up or down into any resolution without aliasing or information loss. YOLaT builds multi-graphs to model the structural and spatial information in vector, and a dual-stream graph neural network is proposed to detect objects from the graph.

• Abstract: In this paper, we consider a different data format for images: vector graphics. In contrast to raster graphics which are widely used in image recognition, vector graphics can be scaled up or down into any resolution without aliasing or information loss, due to the analytic representation of the primitives in the document. Furthermore, vector graphics are able to give extra structural information on how low-level elements group together to form high level shapes or structures. These merits of graphic vectors have not been fully leveraged in existing methods. To explore this data format, we target on the fundamental recognition tasks: object localization and classification. We propose an efficient CNN-free pipeline that does not render the graphic into pixels (i.e. rasterization), and takes textual document of the vector graphics as input, called YOLaT (You Only Look at Text). YOLaT builds multi-graphs to model the structural and spatial information in vector graphics, and a dual-stream graph neural network is proposed to detect objects from the graph. Our experiments show that by directly operating on vector graphics, YOLaT out-performs raster-graphic based object detection baselines in terms of both average precision and efficiency.

  We introduce GRIMOIRE, a text-guided generative model that learns to map images onto a discrete codebook by reconstructing them as vector shapes. Unlike existing models that require direct supervision from data, GRIMOIRE learns using only image supervision which opens up vector generative modeling to significantly more data.

  SuperSVG is a superpixel-based vectorization model that achieves fast and high-precision image vectorization. We propose a two-stage self-training framework, where a coarse-stage model is employed to reconstruct the main structure and a refinement-stage model is used for enriching the details. Experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our method in terms of reconstruction accuracy and inference time compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

  We propose one of the first methods that learn from image-sentence pairs to extract a graphical representation of localized objects and their relationships within an image, known as scene graph. We leverage an off-the-shelf object detector to identify and localize object instances, match labels of detected regions to concepts parsed from captions, and thus create "pseudo" labels for learning scene graph.

  Vector graphics are widely used to represent fonts, logos, digital artworks, and graphic designs. One can alwaysize the input graphic and resort to image-based generative approaches. Current models that require explicit supervision on the vector representation at training time are difficult to obtain. We propose a new neural network that can generate complex vector graphics with varying topologies.
