Abstract :
In this paper we propose an improved method to search curves in pre-processed images. Given an image that has been binarized and thinned to single-pixel representations, the method performs a clockwise or anti-clockwise neighborhood searching process which takes into account the turning angle of the pixels on a certain curve. At last the method is tested on several real images and compared with the original method.
