ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for line figure encoding capable of reducing the amount of information required to be supplied and of encoding line figures correctly even when original images contain errors. In encoding the line figures, points are specified by a pointer in the vicinity of line figures to be encoded as a single connected line piece on displayed images. The line figures indicated to be a single connected line piece are extracted as the single connected line piece, and the line figures extracted as the single connected line piece are encoded as the single connected line piece.
