The invention discloses an image vectorization method and device based on a neural
diffusion curve. According to the method,
geometric control point parameters of multiple sections of Bezier curves are predicted from end to end in an input
grating image through a deep neural network, and the main contour and
color structure of the image are accurately represented in a Bezier curve form; color control points on the two sides of the curve are automatically extracted through a micro color sampling module, and physically consistent
diffusion curve representation is constructed; and performing neural approximation on the resolving process of the
diffusion equation by adopting a rendering network based on a Fourier neural operator to realize end-to-end micro-reconstruction of the image generated by the prediction curve, thereby reversely optimizing the geometric prediction of the curve by using a
reconstruction error. According to the method, manual intervention is not needed,
image vector representation which is high in fidelity, infinite in scaling, lossless in editing and capable of supporting natural layering can be automatically generated while physical rendering consistency is kept, precision and efficiency are improved, and the method is suitable for the fields of image vectorization, digital art creation, micro rendering,
graphic design and the like.
