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.
