Abstract :
Summary form only given. A novel method for lossy compression of the two-dimensional curves is introduced based on the arc-length parameterization. This method has a number of advantages: it is progressive, converges uniformly, and requires the number of the bits proportional to the total arc-length of the curve. The method is applied to the compression of the handwritten letters and scanlines of the natural images.
