Services for professional image processing – Vectorization Service

​

Vectorization is a process, where image elements of one image of single paths are arranged and then are converted into vector graphics. Every path can be subsequently scaled without losing quality. The process is especially interesting for graphics which are just available as a print out and which will be later digitalized.

What is VECTORIZATION?

​

• The term “vectorization” describes the generation of vector graphics from raster graphics. Raster Graphic is developed by using a color grid, in which each panel/box is filled with a certain color. There every color box equates to exactly one pixel, which together display the actual picture. The pixels are individually modified during the image processing. The disadvantage here is, that raster graphics lose quality very fast during the scaling especially while enlarging them. Details and contours are blurry, and the image seems to be gritty and pixilated. Vector graphics on the other hand consist out of lines and curves which a determined by vectors. If vector graphics are scaled, enlarged or narrowed, the better picture quality remains, because one changes only the length of single vectors. The color as well as other features can easily be adjusted. That means that vector graphics are not dependent on resolution.

• Images which were taken with a digital camera or which were scanned, are always grid graphics. Photos etc., which are downloaded from the internet, are also Pixel-Images. The resolution of a digital camera is indicated with megapixel. The images´ resolution is separated in horizontal and vertical pixels. Scales of these grid graphics are always combined with quality loss, because of that they should be transformed into vector graphics.
