This paper proposes a novel method that overcomes the distortions to extract feature points. Actually this curve is made up of several short straight line segments that connect the blue dots. This parametrization can be changed without changing the curve via a recursive procedure outlined in the details section that generates a new set of control points larger by 1 at each iteration. All possible pairs of stroke segments connected at the same fork point are considered, and the bernsteinbezier curve is used to fit each pair to smooth the data and find its trend. Curves with larger stroke are slightly more complex than those with smaller stroke, and representing many small sharp bends require more curves than long, smooth arcs.
