I'll be coding for this project very soon and I created a repository for it
at https://github.com/vinipsmaker/kopf2011 . When we decide where is the
best place to keep the project during the WIP phase, I'll move it.
I'll be using the namespace *Kopf2011* for this library. If you don't like
the namespace, let me know and I can change that.
I'll publish updates of the project at my personal blog at
http://vinipsmaker.wordpress.com/category/computacao/gsoc2013-inkscape/ .
Let me know if you need anything else.

The best place is on Launchpad. See the "Publishing your work on

It might be better to use a more descriptive name. Kopf2011 is unlikely
to be known by anybody who isn't already familiar with the paper.

Excellent! At one time we required GSOC students to keep a blog. The
blog posts were aggregated to planet.inkscape.org. Unfortunately, we
seem to have lost the ability to administer this site and it is mostly
filled with posts that have nothing to do with Inkscape.

I think I'll use the "Tracer" namespace and specify the algorithm in the
name of the class.
What do you guys think about use a more permissive license (LGPLv2.1 and
later, MIT, ...) for the library?

If you are writing this from scratch and
seperating this into an isolated library,
you could just dual-license it with a GPL variant and some sort of commercial license.
I do not like the idea of giving away work for commercial exploitation for free.

Unless you have a need to, stick to GPL and relicense later when you
need to. If someone needs proprietary integration, then it might be
something you can sell or negotiate later.

Free and Open Source allows commercial use. I could quite legitimately
sell Inkscape. We don't have a problem with commercial, we have a

If I use a license compatible with GPL (like LGPL), there is no need to
dual-license it.
Nobody seems to disapprove this idea, then I'll license it under LGPL, so
other open source projects which use other licenses different than GPL
might benefit from it.

I thought it was already said that unless it is really necessary, you

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 [...]"

I think kopf2011 is a fine name - it's pretty much how it would be
referenced in any academic paper, so it's typically how algorithms are
named unless the author provides a very memorable name. kopf doesn't
seem hard to pronounce to me.

The "depixeliser algorhythum" name has problem that kopf2011 name doesn't
have:
name clash
As Martin Sucha stated, the library could implement other algorithms in
future and *any* raster-to-vector algorithm could be the "depixeliser
algorhythum", but only one could be kopf2011. We also should use the same
name that other projects could possibly use (JPEG is JPEG everywhere).

I'll be coding for this project very soon and I created a
repository for
it at https://github.com/vinipsmaker/kopf2011 . When we decide where is
the best place to keep the project during the WIP phase, I'll move it.
Changes based on the feedback:
- Moved to project to https://launchpad.net/libdepixelize (before was
github)
- libdepixelize instead kopf2011
- Tracer namespace instead kopf2011
- Dual licensed under GPLv2 or later and LGPLv2.1 or later
- The name of the class containing the algorithm's implementation will
continue to reference the "kopf2011" name
CMake is being used for the library, but I'll convert to autotools during
Inkscape integration.
You can find an initial repo skel that copies the pixel data in a graph
data structure and build instructions. I'm using Inkscape code convetions
and Inkscape dependencies. I hope I didn't miss anything.

We actually also have cmake building available in Inkscape, so no need to
convert, just add hooks for autotools in again to appropriate changes for
cmake in-tree.

I would recommend against this approach, instead, use
guint8 rgba[4];
and replace

It generally ends up being less work and less error prone.

Well STL provides copy(...), but in my experience it's harder to use,
more error prone and harder to read. In practice the compiler turns
these loops into whatever is fastest (in this cases probably a 32 bit
load and store).

Hi,
Sorry if this is slightly OT but :
Can someone comment how it will perform compared to
http://ralph.cs.cf.ac.uk/papers/geometry/cartoonvectorization.pdf ?
It looks like it gives good output compared to Adobe Live Trace.
IANAL but it looks like it's an (patent free) enhancement of a previous
work of
http://dcgi.felk.cvut.cz/home/sykorad/ (*)
which is patent free too.
So maybe there are tricks that could be "borrowed" to make the "kopf"
even
better ?
thx
PS:

I just skimmed through the paper, but if I understood correctly, this paper
and kopf's paper are facing very distinct challenges and they both may give
good results in their areas, but they will probably be awful if misused.
Kopf's face problems where every pixel matters (pixel art), but this one
doesn't care.
Kopf's doesn't care about temporal coherence, but this one takes this
challenge at the very beginning.
