  • Abstract
    The authors present a graduate iterative merging algorithm for polygon approximation. The algorithm always gives a minimum area difference between the curve and the polygon with the minimum number of breakpoints. Realisation of the algorithm is compared with other algorithms as tested on good and noisy images and the performance is very close to that of a human viewer
