Abstract: Images can be represented and stored either in raster or in vector formats. Raster images are most ubiquitous and are defined as matrices of pixel intensities/colours, while vector images consist of a finite set of geometric primitives, such as lines, curves, and polygons. Since geometric shapes are expressed via mathematical equations and defined by a limited number of control points, they can be manipulated in a much easier way than by directly working with pixels; hence, the vector format is much preferred to raster for image editing and understanding purposes. The conversion of a raster image into its vector correspondent is a non-trivial process, called image vectorization. This paper presents a vectorization method for line drawings, which is much faster and more accurate than the state-of-the-art. We propose a novel segmentation method that processes the input raster image by labeling each pixel as belonging to a particular stroke instance. Our contributions consist of a segme ntation model (called Multi-Focus Attention UNet), as well as a loss function that handles well infrequent labels and yields outputs which capture accurately the human drawing style.
