Approximation of digital curves with line segments and circular arcs using genetic algorithms

A method for approximation of digital planar curves with line segments and circular arcs using genetic algorithms is proposed. In this method, breakpoints on the digital curve are located in such a manner that when line segments and circular arcs are appropriately fitted between all pairs of adjacen...

Description
Summary:A method for approximation of digital planar curves with line segments and circular arcs using genetic algorithms is proposed. In this method, breakpoints on the digital curve are located in such a manner that when line segments and circular arcs are appropriately fitted between all pairs of adjacent breakpoints, the approximation error is minimized.
