Abstract

Edges are detected in a raster image and generate parametric curves from the detected edges. The parametric curves are used to render a scaled version of the raster image. Some embodiments may allow edge locations within a raster image to retain a satisfactory level of sharpness when the raster image is scaled to a larger size.
