چکیده

An approach, based on conic splines, is proposed here for capturing image outlines of generic shapes. It has various phases including extracting outlines of images, mining feature points from the detected outlines, and curve fitting. The idea of particle swarm optimization has been incorporated to optimize the shape parameters in the description of the conic spline. The method ultimately produces optimal results for the approximate vectorization of the digital contours obtained from the generic shapes. Demonstrations also make the essential part of the paper.

Capturing Outlines of Planar Generic Images by Simultaneous Curve Fitting and Sub-division

In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...

Mining Corner Points on the Generic Shapes

This paper designs and implements a corner detection algorithm for mining corner points on the generic shapes. The proposed corner detector detects corners by using combination of one rectangle and two ellipses (REE) with different parameter settings in their descriptions. REE combination slides along the boundary of the shape and records number of boundary points in each rectangle and ellipses...

Curve Representation for Outlines of Planar Images using Multilevel Coordinate Search

This paper proposes an optimization technique for the outline capture of planar images. This is inspired by a global optimization algorithm based on multilevel coordinate search (MCS). By starting a search from certain good points (initially detected corner points), an improved convergence result is obtained. The overall technique has various phases including extracting outlines of images, dete...
