Parker, J.R.2008-05-082008-05-081995-04-01http://hdl.handle.net/1880/46432Many 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.EngComputer Scienceunknown1995-557-910.11575/PRISM/30955
