Capturing Image Outlines Using Soft Computing Approach with Conic Splines

摘要

An optimization technique is proposed for the outline capture of planar images. The overall technique has various phases including extracting outlines of images, detecting corner points from the detected outline, and curve fitting. The idea of multilevel coordinate search has been used to optimize the shape parameters in the description of the generalized conic spline introduced. The spline method ultimately produces optimal results for the approximate vectorization of the digital contour obtained from the generic shapes.
