| Recognition of characters is a problem in image recognition. Contours are often used. The contour of a character can be expressed with much less data than the original character. There are a suit of algorithms that represent contours by connected quadratic curves. With this representation, corners of characters can be detected by locating those corner points.; This project will emphasize on the implementation of those algorithms: including the contour tracking, segmentation and how quadratic curves are obtained from the contour. It is a java application and has a GUI interface. You can select an image, run the algorithm and see the simulation steps. |
