Abstract
This paper has two parts. The first part (Sects. 1–5) describes a thining algorithm that operates directly on the run length encoding of a bilevel image. Besides finding strokes that approximate the dark regions of the image, the algorithm determines other features that are useful for character recognition: arcs, holes, endpoints, etc. The second part (Sect. 6) describes the use of the results of the thinning algorithm in a simple demonstration system for document recognition.
