Abstract
A method for contour stroke generation. First, edge pixels of an image are detected. The connected edge pixels are traced to generate non-branched edges. Each non-branched edge represents a list of connected edge pixels without branches. Thereafter, the non-branched edges are clustered. Then, the non-branched edges are transformed into curves, and the curves are drawn with a series of footprints to generate contour strokes of the image.
