Synopsis

This book covers the most important topics in the area of pattern recognition, object recognition, computer vision, robot vision, medical computing, computational geometry, and bioinformatics systems. Students and researchers will find a comprehensive treatment of polygonal approximation and its real life applications. The book not only explains the theoretical aspects but also presents applications with detailed design parameters. The systematic development of the concept of polygonal approximation of digital curves and its scale-space analysis are useful and attractive to scholars in many fields. Development for different algorithms of polygonal approximation and scale-space analysis and several experimental results with comparative study for measuring the performance of the algorithms are extremely useful for theoretical- and application-oriented works in the above-mentioned areas.
