We are proud to announce that our work got accepted at the Visual Information Communication and Interaction (VINCI) conference in 2020. The relevant publication can be found here.
In this document, we present a description of how to access the Voronoier application. This application is associated with this paper that was submitted to VINCI 2020.
There are several ways to access the Voronoier application. In this section, we will discuss the two methods that can be used to access the application.
The easiest way to access the application is by navigating to the website the application is hosted on. Any user with a browser and active internet connection can access the application by navigating to https://voronoier.netlify.com. The application is hosted with Netlify, which is an all-in-one platform for automating modern web projects.
It is also possible to run the application from the source code. The source code is hosted on GitHub. We assume the user has installed version 2.17.1 of git, version 6.4.1 of npm, and version 8.16.0 of node.js. The user can then perform step 1-3 in a terminal to install the application and step 4 to run the application:
1. git clone https://github.com/nickvdw/image-to-voronoi.git
2. cd image-to-voronoi
3. npm install
4. npm run serveThe user can also perform all these actions with a single command:
git clone https://github.com/nickvdw/image-to-voronoi.git && cd image-to-voronoi && npm install && npm run serveOne can contact one of the students in case there are issues installing or running the application from source.
The functionalities of the application and how they can be used by the user are explained in the final report.
Since it should be possible to easily test the program, we provide sample input. Two example images are provided in the src/exampleInput folder. These are images of a car and a bunny. The car image is a vector illustration of a prototype of a car taken from https://freesvg.org/car-vector-drawing, and the bunny image is created by Julia Rothman. These images can be used to experiment with using several configuration parameter combinations.
