This looks interesting. Here's a shameless plug if somebody needs tracing: ImageTracer is a simple raster image tracer and vectorizer that outputs SVG, 100% free, Public Domain. Available in JavaScript (works both in the browser and with Node.js), "desktop" Java and "Android" Java: https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjs https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjava https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerandroid

This looks really cool. If somebody needs a free vectorizer, then check out ImageTracer (Unlicense/Public Domain). I think it would be realtively easy to convert from tracedata (path coordinates) to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPGL . Available in JavaScript (works both in the browser and with Node.js), "desktop" Java and "Android" Java: https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjs https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerjava https://github.com/jankovicsandras/imagetracerandroid

This looks interesting, but the results are somewhat blurry. Has anybody ever tried to use features of the logos (number of shapes, shape size, position, color, curvature, shape parents/children, etc.) instead of raw pixel data to train GANs? Here comes the shameless plug : ImageTracer is a simple raster image tracer and vectorizer that outputs SVG, 100% free, Public Domain.
