Oh that, that's just the meta data id

I was hoping to convince you of the lack of elegance of the 'kopf2011'
string. It can't be pronounced (in English).

Isn't more important to use a name that uniquely identify the thing? We can pronounce kopf the same way we pronounce http (letter by letter).

In the Inkscape interface, we can simply put the text "convert pixel art", but in the program source code, there should be more detail.

I'm open to suggestions anyway.

Is there anything else we can use instead?

The last paper I've read name the technique in the paper title, but this vectorization paper is very different. I've skimmed the paper one more time and the references to the algorithm aren't named:

"We describe a novel algorithm [...]"
"Our algorithm extracts [...]"
"We applied our algorithm [...]"
"We have presented an algorithm [...]"

PS.:

I'm coding aside from discussing the library. You guys don't need to worry about the timeline or me spending time in this discussion.
