Depixelizing Pixel Art

Thursday, 11 August 10:45 am - 12:15 pm | East Building, Ballroom A/B

A novel algorithm for extracting a resolution-independent vector representation from small pixel art images, which enables magnifying the results by an arbitrary amount without image degradation. Pixel-scale features are resolved and converted into regions with smoothly varying shading that are crisply separated by piecewise-smooth contour curves.
