Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm to capture outline of bitmap characters. In order to obtain outline, a cubic function with one shape parameter is used. Genetic algorithm is applied to find the value of shape parameter. The procedure of capturing outline consists of the steps: boundary detection, detection of corner points, break points and fitting the curve.
