Abstract:

We present a novel method to extract speed feature points for segmenting hand-drawn strokes into geometric primitives. The method consists of three steps. Firstly, the input strokes are classified into uniform and nonuniform speed strokes, representing a stroke drawn at relatively constant or uneven speeds, respectively. Then, a sharpening filter is used to enhance the peak features of the uniform speed strokes. Finally, a three-threshold technique that uses the average speed of the pen and its upper and lower deviations is used to extract speed feature points of strokes. We integrate the proposed method into our freehand sketch recognition (FSR) system to improve its robustness to support multiprimitive strokes. Through a user study with 8 participants, we demonstrate that the proposed method achieves higher segmentation efficiency in finding speed feature points than the existing method based on a single speed threshold.
