[Chennaipy] How to make image to SVG?

[Aravindhan K]

Hi,

My thoughts on the matter
1) Use OpenCV or NumPy to do adaptive thresholding over the scanned image .
2) Create image for each individual character, from scanned image.
3) Feed these individual images to bitmap to vector convertors such as
http://potrace.sourceforge.net.
With some effort we may even able to write a python wrapper too.

Thanks & Regards,
Aravindhan K
