Abstract
This paper presents a novel method to convert digital image to be Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) format using the similar features of pixel, and make the converted SVG file becomes interactive. For example, we have a panoramic digital image of a school. There is lots of buildings and roads on it, and now we are going to construct a map application with this digital image for the school. This application ought to have functions, such as clicking to show building’s information, searching for road by road name etc. It must be a big job to repaint an interactive image for the school. This paper introduces a method that aims at solving this problem. First, we directly convert digital image to SVG file through the way of one pixel of digital image to one rectangle of SVG. Then it allows user to select one or more ‘seed’ SVG pixels by which program can find a region with similar pixel feature. Finally, it can also detect the edge of the region and allows user to add event listener to the region.
