ABSTRACT:
Groups of symbols to be recognized are standardized by fitting four flexible curves to the group of symbols. The curves are fitted by minimizing a cost or energy function that associates a cost with the curvature of the curves, the slant of the curves, the displacement in spacing between the curves and the distance of maxima and minima points from the curves. After the curves are fitted to the group of symbols, the symbols are standardized by transforming coordinates systems so that the fitted curves are placed in a predetermined configuration.
