Multi-primitive Analysis of Digital Curves

In this paper, we propose a new approach for the analysis and the decomposition of digital curves simultaneously into straight and circular parts. Both digital primitives are defined using a thickness parameter. Our method relies on the notion of Tangential Cover [8] which represents digital curves by the set of maximal primitives. The nature of the Tangential Cover allows for fast computation and makes our approach easily extendable, not only to other types of digital primitives, but also to thick digital curves [7]. The results are promising.
