Beta-spline is an alternative curve for 2D font representation. It is preferred since it has G2 continuity and two shape parameters, that can be used to control the curve shape. These shape parameters can also be used to optimize the error between fitted curve and original data points. Commonly, most of the researcher use value of shape parameters of beta-spline as and or some of the researcher choose any random value of these two shape parameters that suitable to be used in beta-spline curve fitting. The values of shape parameters are very important since the values affect the total error of the fitted curves. Thus, in this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed to determine the optimum value of the two shape parameters that will optimize the approximation error of the fitted curve. The technique is applied on two fonts: ى and δ, and tested using various number of iterations and populations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
