The bitmap vectorization is made by potrace, which is used by most of other tools to convert a bitmap to a polygon, not by boost. AFAIK, boost::polygon is used only to cleanup and mainly to fracture the polygons which are created by potrace, and which are outlines and holes inside outlines. The main application of bitmap2component is creating logos which can be printed on a silkscreen layer. > > PS.
