Grasshopper - Find Colour Edge Boundaries from Image

Hello,
I have a lot of images showing some coloured areas.
I want to use GH to retrieve the edge curves of every area.

I know, how to do it in Photoshop, for instance, but I want to do it in GH as these curves will be used in Rhino. And I really have many of them.

I am attaching the input image and wished result. :slight_smile:
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How did you get that ‘wished’ result? Did you trace it manually or used a vectorizing plugin?

both plugins: Nautilus, by (@laurent_delrieu) and Graphic+, by (@DavidMans) offer such tracing algorithms. And if your input images are relative simple in terms of colors, you could try Bitmap+ to extract by specific color and outline

Thanks @Chris37,
Rooster plugin seems the best here

Vectorize is surely also a good option (in Rhino)

The best I can do with Nautilus was the use of Mesh Iso Split
