• Abstract: In contrast to the well-established technique of rasterization, vectorization of images poses a significant challenge in the field of computer graphics. Recent learning-based methods for converting raster images to vector formats frequently suffer from incomplete shapes, redundant path prediction, and a lack of accuracy in preserving the semantics of the original content. These shortcomings severely hinder the utility of these methods for further editing and manipulation of images. To address these challenges, we present DeepIcon, a novel hierarchical image vectorization network specifically tailored for generating variable-length icon vector graphics based on the raster image input. Our experimental results indicate that DeepIcon can efficiently produce Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) directly from raster images, bypassing the need for a differentiable rasterizer while also demonstrating a profound understanding of the image contents.

  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 show that a text-conditioned diffusion model trained on pixel representations of images can be used to generate SVG-exportable vector graphics. Inspired by recent text-to-3D work, we learn an SVG consistent with a caption using Score Distillation Sampling. Experiments show greater quality than prior work, and demonstrate a range of styles including pixel art and sketches.

  We propose Layerwise Image Vectorization, namely LIVE, to convert images to SVGs and simultaneously maintain its image topology.
