  • Patent number: 11989807
    Abstract: Embodiments of provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for scaling raster content using pre-computed scalar fields, such as images or textures. In an example implementation, an initial raster image is processed to generate a representation of three scalar fields: an unsigned distance field, an adjacency field, and a color plane (also called a color field or a color texture). These three fields are pre-computed prior to scaling (e.g., outside of a rendering loop), and then subsequently used (e.g., by a GPU as textures) to render a scaled version of the initial raster image.

  • Patent number: 11776179
    Abstract: Embodiments of provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for rendering multicolored vector content using pre-computed scalar fields, such as images or textures. In an example implementation, multicolored vector content is processed to generate a representation of three scalar fields: an unsigned distance field, a field of region IDs, and a color plane (also called a color field or a color texture). These three fields are pre-computed prior to rendering (e.g., outside of a rendering loop), and then subsequently used (e.g., by a GPU as textures) to render an approximation of the multicolored vector content.

  • Patent number: 10403005
    Abstract: Techniques and systems are described in which signed distance fields (SDFs) can be used to approximate multicolored vector art. A source image, represented as multicolored vector art is received and processed to provide a multicolored planar graph. The graph is processed to provide a SDF mask for each of the colors in the graph. For each of the colors in the graph, a color plane is generated, paired with the corresponding mask and represents the source image's color underneath the mask. Each color plane can be dilated and then one or more of the color planes or masks can be down sampled and then used to synthesize a source image which provides an approximated source image which retains the hard edges of the original image.
