Accelerating Vector Graphics with Euler Spirals

This article explores a GPU-based method for high-performance vector graphics rendering, expanding upon Nehab’s 2020 theory of path stroking. By introducing the Euler spiral as an efficient intermediate representation, the authors achieve precise stroke and fill approximations with minimal computational divergence. Their novel error metric enables direct estimation without costly pre-processing, unlocking fully GPU-driven rendering workflows. The paper concludes with future directions for improving parallelism, optimizing memory allocation, and refining mathematical rigor in GPU stroke evaluation.
