Abstract
Many structural pattern recognition methods use straight line segments as features. Others depend on the ability to identify a stroke, or a curve drawn with a single pen down and a single pen up motion. Here a method is presented for identifying linear strokes that does not depend on a structural thinning step. It can be used for character and symbol recognition, and the features can be connected to form curves.
