I am building a CNC pen plotter that draws people on paper using a single pen. Before investing in a full pipeline, I want to run a paid validation phase to test feasibility and output quality. I am looking for a freelancer who can convert 1–2 images of people into clean, recognisable, CNC-ready vector line drawings. This is a finite, well-defined task, not open-ended research. Scope of Work (Validation Phase) - You will: - Take 1–2 photographs of people (provided by me) - Remove or ignore the background - Generate a vector line drawing that: ( Is recognisable when drawn with a pen Uses only strokes / paths Contains no dots, no shading fills, no raster data Looks like a human sketch Is suitable for CNC pen plotting ) Input Images: - May be colored - May include background clutter - Face portraits preferred for validation - Good lighting, frontal or semi-frontal Output Requirements (Strict) - Format: - SVG preferred - OR DXF / vector polylines Vector Constraints: - Paths only - No filled regions - No pointillism / dot shading - Continuous strokes preferred - Stroke order should be logical CNC Constraints (Important): - Single pen - Avoid excessive micro-segments - Avoid unnecessary stroke fragmentation - Optimized for physical plotting (not screen art) Deliverables: - Final vector file(s) - Brief explanation of: - Approach used - How you came to that approach - A documentation - What worked well - Known limitations Success Criteria - This validation is successful if: - The plotted result is recognisable as the person - The drawing looks intentional and sketch-like - The vector runs on a CNC pen plotter without manual fixing - If successful, this project may extend to a larger paid Phase-2. Ownership & Usage Rights (Important): - All code, scripts, pipelines, vector outputs, and related work produced under this project will be fully owned by me. - This work is considered work made for hire. - The freelancer may not reuse, resell, publish, or redistribute the work (in part or full) without my explicit written permission. - I retain the unrestricted right to use, modify, extend, commercialize, or open-source the work in any form. - Applying to this project implies agreement with these terms. Skills Required: - Computer vision / image processing - Vector graphics (SVG/DXF) - Python + OpenCV preferred - Sketch generation / pen plotter experience is a plus How to Apply - Please include: - Relevant past work (vector / sketch preferred) - Short description of your approach - Tools/libraries you plan to use - Applications without relevant examples will be ignored. Important Note: This is a validation task, not a full production build. Clarity and reliability matter more than artistic complexity. Also please dont be in a hope that this could be done by ChatGPT or any other LLM Models. I have tried and wasted my time. Or you could correct me if I am doing anything wrong. But what I want is a person with slight domain expertise in Computer Vision, Image Processing and Vector Graphics.

Hello, This is a great project — I have experience in computer vision, image processing, and generating clean vector line work suitable for plotting systems. For the validation phase, I will convert your 1–2 portrait photos into CNC-ready vector line drawings with background removal, stroke-only paths, and no fills or raster elements. My focus will be on producing smooth, logical stroke paths that are optimized for a single-pen plotter, avoiding excessive segmentation and unnecessary pen lifts. I typically use Python with OpenCV for image processing and custom vectorization workflows, then refine paths in SVG/DXF to ensure they are plotter-friendly and recognizable when drawn physically. I’ll deliver the final vector files along with a brief explanation of the method, what worked well, and any limitations observed. Looking forward to helping validate this concept.

Hi there, I am ready to start Image → Vector Line Art (Validation Phase) for CNC Pen Plotter -- 2 . Last time, I did the same project by just… doing the work. No corporate theater, no 47 meetings about meetings. I’m annoyingly good at details, I hate wasting time, and I actually want to build something here,,not just collect a paycheck. You can check similar projects here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/msaadarshadkhan If you’re tired of cover letters that feel like Mad Libs, hit reply. Coffee’s on me.

As one of the premier Python experts in image processing and computer vision, I come well-equipped to handle your need for converting photographs into precise CNC ready vector line drawings. Over my two-decade career in IT, I have developed an inherent understanding of various file formats like SVG and DXF that would be instrumental in delivering the quality and compatibility you require. My proficiency with OpenCV, in particular, will be advantageous as it has served me adeptly in similar past projects. My approach is based on ensuring optimum yield both on screen and on paper. By generating logical paths without excessive micro-segments or fragmentation, I guarantee not just efficient representation but also smooth, recognisable sketching that maintains a focused stroke order. The resulting vectors will look intentional -- akin to human sketches -- without compromising the CNC plotting suitability you desire. I value your clear expectations and believe my commitment to clarity and reliability aligns perfectly with your vision for this project. And let me assure you, I take ownership and usage rights as seriously as you do. Once completed, the code I develop, pipelines established and all vector outputs produced under your project will be yours to use as you see fit. Looking forward to discussing my specific plans in more detail with you and sharing how I can successfully transform your vision into reality for this validation task
