US 12,755,452 B2 · Generating assistive guides of candidate paths in an image for user tracing inputs

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that provide assistive guides for path tracing of raster images. In particular, in one or more implementations, the disclosed systems determine a set of outlines corresponding to boundaries of a set of segments within a raster image. The disclosed systems select, from the set of outlines, an outline corresponding to a segment in response to a client device input indicating point(s) located within a threshold distance of the outline. The disclosed systems provide, for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, a highlighted indication of the outline corresponding to the segment. The disclosed systems generate, within a vector image, a vector path based on the outline corresponding to the segment in response to a selection of the outline via the graphical user interface.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

determining a set of outlines corresponding to boundaries of a set of segments within a raster image;
selecting, from the set of outlines, an outline corresponding to a segment of the set of segments in response to a client device input indicating one or more points located within a threshold distance of the outline;
providing, for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, a highlighted indication of the outline corresponding to the segment;
and
partially vectorizing the raster image by selectively generating a vector path based on the outline corresponding to the segment in response to a selection of the highlighted indication of the outline via the graphical user interface.

2 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more memory devices;
and
one or more processors configured to cause the system to:
determine, for a raster image, a first outline corresponding to a boundary of a first segment and a second outline corresponding to a boundary of a second segment;
receive, from a client device, a client device input indicating a point in the raster image within a threshold distance of the first segment and the second segment;
provide, for display within a graphical user interface of the client device, a first highlighted indication of the first outline and a second highlighted indication of the second outline in response to the client device input being within the threshold distance of the first segment and the second segment;
and
partially vectorize the raster image by selectively generating, based on a selection of the first highlighted indication of the first outline, a vector path with a geometry associated with the first outline.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing executable instructions which, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

segmenting one or more objects in a raster image into a set of segments utilizing an object segmentation model;
generating a set of outlines corresponding to contours extracted from the set of segments;
selecting, from the set of outlines, an outline corresponding to a segment of the set of segments in response to a client device input drawing one or more points located within a threshold distance of the outline;
providing, for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, a highlighted indication of the outline corresponding to the segment;
and
partially vectorizing the raster image by selectively generating a vector path based on the outline corresponding to the segment in response to a selection of the highlighted indication of the outline via the graphical user interface.
