PNG to SVG AI Vectorizer: Image Quality & Scalability Studio Puzzle #28
Demonstrating the technical and visual quality difference between raster pixel bitmaps (PNG) and resolution-independent vector graphics (SVG). Features an interactive split-curtain diff slider, extreme magnification loupe (up to 3200%), AI vectorizer parameter tuning, SVG XML code inspector, and automated diagnostic suite.

AI Vectorization Hyperparameters
Color Palette Quantization
8 Colors
K-means color clustering threshold. Fewer colors simplify the SVG into stylized flat shapes; more colors preserve subtle gradients.
Bezier Curve Smoothing
0.8 px (Optimized)
Least-squares tolerance for cubic Bezier approximation. Reduces total vertex count while maintaining organic silhouettes.
Corner Detection Angle
45° Threshold
Angle threshold differentiating smooth tangents from sharp cusps (such as the knight's ears and mane notches).
Speckle Noise Filter
4 px Denoise
Suppresses microscopic stray pixel clusters that cause bloated SVG path nodes.
