Supoj Chinveeraphan, Abdelmalek Zidouri, Makoto Sato · 1994
Since stroke components are the most basic structural featurea of patterns like ch.aracters or linea in im.ages. Prom a tiieui point of bein.g applicable to docum.en.t image understandin.g, it ia necessary to provide a good represen.tation th.at can. express such features, so th,at an interpretation of im.ages can be facilita.ted. Th.is article pre,qen.ta a new tech,n.ique used for ezpressin.g bin.ary doczim.ent im.agea. The proposed technique derieloped from the Minimum.
