ABSTRACT:
A computer readable medium storing thereon a program for encoding the conformation of a given curve is provided. The encoding program includes: a point selection module for selecting representative points on a given curve; an arrangement module for putting an elemental structure block which consists of a trunk and branches; a branch selection module for selecting a branch from each of the blocks arranged above; an adjustment module for adjusting spacial orientation of the elemental structure blocks arranged above, just after selection of the most appropriate branch of a block (current block) and before selection of the most appropriate branch of the block assigned to the next representative point (next block); and a code generator module for generating data which describe the conformation of the curve, using the code of the selected branches of the elemental structure blocks assigned to the representative points of the curve.
