A method for locating comers is discussed as well as criteria, based on spline representations, for classifying line segments as straight or curved. Results are given for several typical noisy engineering line drawings.application/pdfenIn CopyrightTechnical reportTR-87-12http://eprints.cs.vt.edu/archive/00000060/01/TR-87-12.pdf
