Arkan is designed to change border of a raster mask (survival of an object in view) or any closed polyline into B-spline (piecewise cubic Bezier curve) representation spread widely in vector graphics packages. Arkan chooses the best status both for node points (junctions of adjacent Bezier polynomial pieces) and for control points, which don’t lie on the curve but only affects its configuration. Minimum description length approach powers the programme. In increase to its unique outlining capabilities Arkan features courteous and friendly user interface (date screenshot).

It’s typical undertaking in computer graphics to depict contour of raster masks in terms of a place of cubic Bezier curves. For example, to admit changing (interpolation) of the mask during the time in a compositing environment, such as Adobe After Effects. Currently this undertaking is performed manually for many frames and it’s truly painful flush for a skilled computer designer.

* Arkan can control in one of two modes:
Semi-automatic. The user selects the total of node points, their very gravel positions and type: should the spline be polish or astute at those nodes. Nothing more. The programme then adjusts status of node points and locates the best status for controls points by itself. The processing in this mode is very fast.
Automatic. The user has to do nil after load the mask into the programme. The total of nodes, their positions and positions of controls nodes, everything is detected automatically. However operating in this mode consumes significantly more processor superpower.

* Features & Benefits
Perfect select of fitted B-splines, flush if you limit the total of Bezier curve pieces.
Subpixel precision of node and control points.
Outstanding performance for that select.
Ease of tuning due to built-in herculean properties editor.
Easy, familiar, and neat interface.
Adobe After Effects plug-in for handy importing constructed splines into AE.
Export of Bezier splines in text, BMP & EMF.
