| (...) That's true. Bmp2dat needs some real edge tracking algorithms instead of just runlength encoding. Something like this. (URL) also needs an autorotate function. Just look for the longest straight line near 90 or 0 degrees and rotate it to (...) (21 years ago, 5-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Here's some more opensource code (3 URLs) a really nifty description of how to use the potrace vectorizer to generate edges, and the netlib triangulator to create the triangles. (...)

Then, optimally, the process requires the following discrete phases: 1) Someone[1] scans a patterned part at high resolution into an agreed (...)

IMHO a mosaic can't replace true vectors or poligons. regardless of the resolution you will still need an obcene amount of quads to define the shapes. it won't be the giant leap but it would be the small step if the LSC could with a new (...)
