How to trace a line drawing image to be a “”real line“ vector drawing instead of a outline image?

The only tool that I know to do what you want is Medial Axis. There was many discussion on this forum on this technique. I doubt it will work here. The tool you need is Rooster/Potrace with an option that I don’t know if it exists. You need something with curve with variable thickness.
We had a discussion of Potrace, so you could surely have more options.

It seems that there are some other tools


I tested a bit Vextractor that has some ability to extract median curve.
