Abstract
We propose a technique to generate a vectorized representation of video data from raster video. Multiple frames from the input video are vectorized and used as keyframes and vector-based time data is automatically generated between pairs of keyframes. First, each keyframe is converted into a mesh constructed of triangular Bezier patches. Mesh vertices' are then tracked and approximated using Bezier spline curves. Vertices that were not successfully tracked were interpolated using a linear combination of nearby, successfully tracked vertices. We present the results of applying our method and discuss the validity and possible applications of the method.
