Abstract

Images in vector format are presented as a sequence of analytical descriptions of geometric objects. This approach allows for reproduction of the image in any resolution without loss of quality. Currently, there are no ready-made solutions for using vector images in GPU photorealistic rendering systems. This paper presents an approach to enabling such support using signed distance fields and rasterization as base methods. Analysis of the results shows the effectiveness of the approach based on distance fields for various vector images. However, in some cases, artifacts may appear, in which case it is proposed to use a rasterization-based approach.
