ABSTRACT:
A planar map to process a raster image is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of tracing a raster image includes generating a planar map having at least one region and applying the planar map to the raster image to create a traced image. The method may include reducing the number of colors of the raster image prior to the generating the planar map having at least one region. In addition, the method may include formulating a geometry to associate with the at least one region. The at least one region may include a contiguous set of common color pixels.
