> Comparing to Potrace which only accept binarized inputs (Black & White pixmap), VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored high resolution scans. tl;dr: Potrace uses a O(n^2) fitting algorithm, whereas vtracer is entirely O(n).

What is the Big-O of the algorithm with Segment Anything or other segmentation approaches?

The Ctrl-L to Simplify Inkscape feature attempts to describe the same path with fewer points/bezier curves.

Could this approach also help with 3d digitization?

TIL about https://github.com/fogleman/primitive from "Comparison of raster-to-vector conversion software" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_raster-to-vector... which does already list vtracer (2020)

E.g. pygame-web can do SVG sprites; so that you don't have to do pixel art and sprite scaling just works.
