The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curve subdivision. Depending on the specified maximum error, the proposed technique itself subdivides complex segments, and curve fitting is done simultaneously. A comparative study of experimental results embosses various advantages of the proposed technique such as accurate representation, low approximation errors and efficient computational complexity.}, keywords = {Outline capturing,Cubic Bezier Curve,Curve fitting,Control point,Curve subdivision}, url = {https://jad.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_1618.html}, eprint = {https://jad.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_1618_fa7fafc8fdb97b6f458fbbb87a5945a2.pdf} }
