Most hand drawn animation wont't actually vectorize well, especially the ones from the hand drawn era, where every cel is a real painting: https://caseantiques.com/item/lot-738-the-simpsons-animation... Look at all that line detail. It creates subtle gradients in the final film, which don't readily transfer to vector graphics. In this case, I think with some better pixel-based filtering before vectorization, they could've gotten a better result. However, the much bigger problem is that the vast majority of animation uses paintings for backgrounds that aren't just solid lines and colors. |

No patent should be granted for this technique on general. It is known from late 80s. Maybe some details.
Also maybe the patent office shouldn't grant the patent because "use ANN to fit x" is also obvious. Again, only for details.
