But how can it be that you have extremely detailed photos matching all sorts of lines of all shapes (great job by the way! for normal curves I'm super impressed), but you don't have any with a natural Z in them? Zigzags aren't that uncommon - I can see some visually but your algorithm ignores them. I think it's not just due to the fact that you ignore the beginning of my line - it's that you somehow don't detect zigzags in the photos... Try drawing some capital Z's to see what I mean :)
I want to make sure to be positive, this is a super amazing result for almost all the curves I drew :) Just curious about that one.
no it's a really good question! I think this just has to do with the line detection algorithm and it tending to find more curves than sharp angle lines -- this is what the matches look like when you draw a Z:
they are not as good as when you draw a curve and I think it's just trimming based on general poor matches. I've found if I round the Z or make the angle less extreme I can get better results.
interesting! thanks. Yes, most of the matches you linked are poor matches
so what you said earlier about starting to trim the start of it must have applied.
I don't have more questions :) Thanks again for sharing this project - the result is fantastic, really shockingly good :) - goes to show...algorithms ftw :)
