Bezier curve-based generic shape encoder

Abstract

Existing Bezier curve-based shape description techniques primarily focus upon determining a set of pertinent control points (CP) to represent a particular shape contour. While many different approaches have been proposed, none adequately consider domain-specific information about the shape contour like its gradualness and sharpness, in the CP generation process which can potentially result in large distortions in the object's shape representation. This study introduces a novel Bezier curve-based generic shape encoder (BCGSE) that partitions an object contour into contiguous segments based upon its cornerity, before generating the CP for each segment using relevant shape curvature information. In addition, although CP encoding has generally been ignored, BCGSE embeds an efficient vertex-based encoding strategy exploiting the latent equidistance between consecutive CP. A non-linear optimisation technique is also presented to enable the encoder is automatically adapt to bit-rate constraints. The performance of the BCGSE framework has been rigorously tested on a variety of diverse arbitrary shapes from both a distortion and requisite bitrate perspective, with qualitative and quantitative results corroborating its superiority over existing shape descriptors.

“…In [13] and [14] presented how Bézier curve generate shape of image then modified it according to its points and degrees. Bézier curve also used for smoothing hand-writing in electronic method to make smoother [15].…”

Reconstruct unrecoverable data in real‐time networks using Bézier curve

“…The proposed method is using a formula called Bézier curve. Bézier curve is a common method that is used in image processing to redraw the image in smooth way based on its control points or its control degrees [10,11]. With the robustness of its computation complexity [12], Bézier curve is a novel formula to be implemented in data reconstruction.…”

A smart repair embedded memetic algorithm for 2D shape matching problems

“…Since the current application relates to shape matching, the discussion is restricted to boundary representations. Several methods for boundary representation have been proposed over the years, such as implicit polynomials (Keren et al 1994, Blane et al 2000, Tasdizen et al 2000, Helzer et al 2004, Landa et al 2010, cubic splines (Rogers andAdams 1990, Sarfraz andHabib 1999), Bezier curves (Rogers and Adams 1990, Cinque et al 1998, Yang et al 2001, Sohel et al 2010) and B-spline curves (Cox 1971, Riesenfeld 1972. Among these, B-spline curves have been widely used as they ensure smoothness, compactness, local shape control, and possess the property of affine transformation invariance (Mongkolnama et al 2006).…”
