  abstract = {We present Ardeco, a new algorithm for image abstraction and
              conversion from bitmap images into vector graphics. Given a bitmap
              image, our algorithm automatically computes the set of vector
              primitives and gradients that best approximates the image. In
              addition, more details can be generated in user-selected important
              regions, defined from eye-tracking data or from an importance map
              painted by the user. Our algorithm is based on a new two-level
              variational parametric segmentation algorithm, minimizing Mumford
              and Shah’s energy and operating on an intermediate triangulation,
              well adapted to the features of the image.},
