Can somebody try and trace this image into an SVG? I'm having a hard time. I just want the actual sign outline, sans the noise. Thanks for any advice too.

Go to Google images and find a clean sign (there are plenty). Use that to autotrace
Or use Google

Yeah, true.
But the real sign has a star animation that loops, and I was thinking to replicate that. I have three stills each with a different part of the star. Hahaha, maybe not worth the effort though.Last edited by budwzr; 27th Nov 2012 at 21:53.

in other words - remove isolated pixels (noise), make lines thicker (like Gaussian blur + treshold), perhaps additionally erode (which works in gimp like normally dilute works - perhaps error in gimp)
also for tracing high resolution bitmap should be used - perhaps some resizing algorithm for bitonal - palette-pixel art graphics can be used (Sal, Eagle etc) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling#Pixel_art_scaling_algorithms -
Were you more interested in how to get a good trace ?
-unless the source is perfect, you usually have to make some small manual adjustments
-even if the source is "perfect" - all autotracing algorithms make mistakes especially on curves and fine intersections - so you still have to make adjustments
Or were you more interested in ways to do the animation ? What is this for ? -

Actually, this is a better idea. Maybe cartoon it? And then just use the video. I want something surreal, but highly recognizable. This look also solves the "dirty tint" issue with the white background.

Here we go, BINGO! I moved the Bright/Contrast ahead of the convolve. Love it, perfect.

Me Likey. The YT version is soft, but the link is sharp. It's good for looping.

Wow! I really love this Gimp program. I'm not an artist, but it lets me make art easily. Unbelievable, the tools and options.
