A Limited Precision Method for Determining the Perimeter of a Flat
Vector Object Using Bezier Curves
Abstract
Plane shapes are one of the broadest domains for electronically stored
information. Such vector objects, including texts, routes, etc. are
often described using Bezier curves. Many data analysis tasks require
determination of the perimeters of vector objects, which is associated
with significant computational complexity; however, it is far from
always necessary to calculate metrics with high accuracy. In this work,
we propose splitting Bezier curves into arcs to reduce dimension. Thus,
we quickly compute the perimeter of an arbitrary flat figure with
limited precision.
