That's an interesting idea! I suppose it could be used for compression, although my intentions were for this to be a generative art project.
I triangulated a 1988×1491 jpg using 10,000 points and managed to reduce the size to 20% of the original size, but the triangles could still obviously be seen.
- hapidjus 5y agoYou could probably make it into an SVG file to reduce the size even more.
- jacob019 5y agoLove this idea. A novel vectorization.
- fogihujy 5y agoAdding my voice to this. It would be an amazing tool for web work -- the vectorized images look far better than the very small jpeg images used in lazy loading today.

- jarek-foksa 5y agoSimilar functionality is already implemented in Boxy SVG editor [1]. There is also another more powerful "Primitivize" generator which has more options, e.g. you can choose whether the vectorized image should consist from triangles or rectangles.

- gillesjacobs 5y agoIt sure looks better aestethically esimov/triangle or fogleman/primitive! Goal achieved I would say. It still would be cool to see this compared to those in Low Quality Image Placeholder implementations and find out if the extra work on nicer aethetics is preserved when the blur applied.
- rh12503 5y agoBlurring is a good idea! It could work with placeholder images, but it'll probably be better with smaller ones (eg. profile pictures).
