Smoothing out sketches’ rough edges

MIT News: MIT-developed tool improves automated image vectorization, saving digital artists time and effort.
Artists may soon have at their disposal a new MIT-developed tool that could help them create digital characters, logos, and other graphics more quickly and easily.
Many digital artists rely on image vectorization, a technique that converts a pixel-based image into an image comprising groupings of clearly defined shapes. In this technique, points in the image are connected by lines or curves to construct the shapes.
Among other perks, vectorized images maintain the same resolution when either enlarged or shrunk down.
