Abstract

In one aspect, the present disclosure can be embodied in a method that includes approximating an outline of a vector image using a set of circular arcs. A signed distance value is computed for a selected group of points in a two-dimensional grid associated with the vector image based on a location of each point relative to the approximated outline of the vector image. The nearest are from the respective location of each point in the selected group is identified and the corresponding signed distance value is assigned to each point. The vector image is reproduced based on the signed distance value assigned to each point in the selected group.
