چکیده

In this paper, a new approach which differentiates from the conventional thinning algorithms in vectorizing a raster line image called maximal inscribing circle (MIC) is used. This region-based vectorization algorithm takes the ensemble of pixels within the line segments collectively as legitimate candidates in deciding the vectorized representation. An iterative procedure is outlined and the criteria for merging short straight line segments into the corresponding curve representation are described. This method cannot only segment the lines and junctions, construct their spatial relationships in a computation efficient manner, but also retain their line width. ( 1998 Pattern Recognition Society.

Benchmarking: An Interactive Tool for Vectorization of Raster Images

Methods have been presented to compute the vector representations of the arbitrary lines in a bilevel raster image. The image may have varying line width and irregular boundaries. Moreover, at line crossings and branches, the user has an opportunity to choose the direction in which line tracking may be continued. The usual method involves thresholding, thinning, segmentation, polygonalization, ...

Study on Algorithms of Graphic Element Recognition for Precise Vectorization of Industrial Computed Tomographic Image

Circle, line and circular arc are the common basic graphic elements in industrial computed tomography (ICT) image. The algorithm of recognizing such elements is the key to industrial CT image precise vectorization. An industrial CT image vectorization system has been studied, including different recognition methods for these elements. Firstly, based on facet model, the sub-pixel edge of an indu...

Line Net Global Vectorization: an Algorithm and Its Performance Evaluation

In this paper, an efficient global algorithm for vectorizing line drawings is presented. It first extracts a seed segment of a graphic entity from a raster image to obtain its direction and width, then tracks the pixels under the guidance of the direction so that the tracking can track through junctions and is not affected by noise and degradation of image quality. Thus, an entity will be vecto...
