  • Abstract
    A new technique has been proposed for the outline capture of generic shapes. The overall technique has various phases including extracting outlines of images, detecting corner points from the detected outline, curve fitting, and addition of extra knot points if needed. The idea of simulated annealing has been used to optimize the shape parameters in the description of the generalized cubic spline introduced.
