Simple raster image tracer and vectorizer written in Java for Android. See https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjava for the desktop Java version.

by András Jankovics

This is the Android version of ImageTracer.java, please read that for more details: https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjava

The library: src/jankovicsandras/imagetracerandroid/ImageTracerAndroid.java

Sample Activity: src/jankovicsandras/imagetracerapp/ImagetracerActivity.java

Android application: bin/ImageTracerApp.apk

The whole package is an Android project.

I will try to update this documentation as soon as I have enough time. :)

1.1.2

  • minor bugfixes
  • lookup based pathscan()

1.1.1

  • Bugfix: CSS3 RGBA output in SVG was technically incorrect (however supported by major browsers), so this is changed. More info
  • transparency support: alpha is not discarded now, it is given more weight in color quantization
  • new options.roundcoords : rounding coordinates to a given decimal place. This can reduce SVG length significantly (>20%) with minor loss of precision.
  • new options.desc : setting this to false will turn off path descriptions, reducing SVG length.
  • new options.viewbox : setting this to true will use viewBox instead of exact width and height
  • new options.colorsampling : color quantization will sample the colors now by default, can be turned off.
  • new options.blurradius : setting this to 1..5 will preprocess the image with a selective Gaussian blur with options.blurdelta treshold. This can filter noise and improve quality.
  • IndexedImage has width and height
  • getsvgstring() needs now only IndexedImage (tracedata) and options as parameters
  • colorquantization() needs now only imgd, palette and options as parameters
  • background field is removed from the results of color quantization

Deterministic output

Main Functions

Function name Arguments Returns
imageToSVG String filename, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ String /*SVG content*/
imageToSVG Bitmap bitmap, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ String /*SVG content*/
imagedataToSVG ImageData imgd, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ String /*SVG content*/
imageToTracedata String filename, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ IndexedImage /*read the source for details*/
imageToTracedata Bitmap bitmap, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ IndexedImage /*read the source for details*/
imagedataToTracedata ImageData imgd, HashMap<String,Float> options /*can be null*/, byte [][] palette /*can be null*/ IndexedImage /*read the source for details*/

Helper Functions

Function name Arguments Returns
saveString String filename, String str void
loadImageData String filename ImageData /*read the source for details*/
loadImageData Bitmap bitmap ImageData /*read the source for details*/

ImageData is similar to ImageData here.

There are more functions for advanced users, read the source if you are interested. :)

Options

Option name Default value Meaning
ltres 1f Error treshold for straight lines.
qtres 1f Error treshold for quadratic splines.
pathomit 8f Edge node paths shorter than this will be discarded for noise reduction.
colorsampling 1f Enable or disable color sampling. 1f is on, 0f is off.
numberofcolors 16f Number of colors to use on palette if pal object is not defined.
mincolorratio 0.02f Color quantization will randomize a color if fewer pixels than (total pixels*mincolorratio) has it.
colorquantcycles 3f Color quantization will be repeated this many times.
blurradius 0f Set this to 1f..5f for selective Gaussian blur preprocessing.
blurdelta 20f RGBA delta treshold for selective Gaussian blur preprocessing.
scale 1f Every coordinate will be multiplied with this, to scale the SVG.
roundcoords 1f rounding coordinates to a given decimal place. 1f means rounded to 1 decimal place like 7.3 ; 3f means rounded to 3 places, like 7.356
viewbox 0f Enable or disable SVG viewBox. 1f is on, 0f is off.
desc 1f Enable or disable SVG descriptions. 1f is on, 0f is off.
lcpr 0f Straight line control point radius, if this is greater than zero, small circles will be drawn in the SVG. Do not use this for big/complex images.
qcpr 0f Quadratic spline control point radius, if this is greater than zero, small circles and lines will be drawn in the SVG. Do not use this for big/complex images.
