This chapter proposes a scheme that helps digitizing hand printed and electronic planar objects or vectorizing the generic shapes. An evolutionary optimization technique, namely Genetic Algorithm (GA), is used to solve the problem of curve fitting with cubic and rational cubic spline functions. The underlying scheme is comprised of various phases including data of the image outlines, detection of corner points, using GA for optimal values of shape parameters in the description of spline functions, and fitting curve using spline functions to the detected corner points.
