Binarising AI Line Art For Vector Traceability: Threshold Choices That Survive Adobe QC

说明与用途

针对 AI 线稿的系统化二值化流程：在直方图谷部选择阈值、去噪、闭合小间隙并验证路径，消除 Adobe QC 拒绝，提高批量上传效率。

问题

AI-generated line art vectors were rejected by Adobe Stock due to visible noise or artifacts caused by improper binarisation, leading to wasted rework time.

结果

Adopting a threshold‑based binarisation workflow reduced Adobe QC rejections from 100% to 0% for the author’s batch of 40 assets, saving a week of rework and enabling efficient batch processing on a low‑spec server.

工作流

• Convert raster to grayscale and inspect histogram
• Select threshold in valley between peaks
• Despeckle by removing connected components <8 pixels
• Close small gaps with morphological close of 1‑2 pixels
• Trace to paths
• Render vector back to raster at same size and diff against binarised source
• Check path count against batch average
• Generate platform‑specific CSV metadata
• Upload assets with upload tracker to avoid double‑posting

I had traced them at whatever threshold the default gave me. The vectors looked fine on my screen. Zoomed to 400%, the strokes were made of tiny islands and speckles, and the reviewer saw it in seconds.

Most tracing tools apply an automatic threshold when you feed them grayscale or color input. That default is tuned for photos, not for AI line art.

Convert to grayscale first, then look at the histogram. AI line art is almost always bimodal, one peak near white and one near black.

Despeckle. Remove connected components below a minimum pixel count. I use roughly 8 pixels at 1000 px canvas size as the cutoff.

Both run in Pillow plus a little numpy-free logic in my scripts, and on my 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM server each image takes under a second.

A clean vector with a wrong CSV header is still an instant rejection. Adobe's upload CSV has a fixed 5 column header, Vecteezy uses 4 columns, Dreamstime wants 15.
