  • Abstract
    In this paper, an efficient algorithm is developed for smoothing binary image contours. Using this algorithm we can remove or modify simple spurious points and spurious point groups which have two or more convex or concave points in the direction of a special chain code along a contour. The procedure can be repeated to improve the smoothing quality and the algorithm can be implemented very efficiently.
