Approximation of multipath planar shapes in pattern analysis

The concept of multipath approximation of two-dimensional images is introduced and an algorithm for the functional approximation of multipath curves is given. It is shown that application of this algorithm results in a significant reduction in storage requirements and an increase in the preservation of important features of the image.
