Information System for Determining the Prioritization of Vector Image Quality Factors

The quality of vector images depends on a significant set of geometric and structural factors, which makes objective assessment a challenging task. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to identifying and prioritizing these factors. Factor selection was performed based on expert evaluation and analysis of inter-factor relationships. A reachability matrix of factors was constructed to analyze direct and indirect relationships. Models describing relationships between the factors were developed. The rank and weight of each factor were calculated using a dependency-weighting system. An information system was developed to automate the process of prioritizing factors based on the proposed methodology. The software architecture was implemented in Python 3.13.5 using the Tkinter, NumPy, and NetworkX libraries. Experimental results confirmed that the factor «coordinate accuracy» has the highest level of significance, whereas «file format» has the smallest influence on the quality of vector images. Due to the lack of dependence on specific selected factors, the developed system is universal and suitable for prioritizing factors in any application domain. Future research will focus on integrating the developed information system into a fuzzy-logic-based system for assessing the quality of vector images.
