The problem of recognition of a polyline as a sequence of geometric primitives is important for the resolution of applied tasks such as post-processing of lines obtained as a result of vectorization; polygonal line compression; recognition of characteristic features; noise filtering; and text, symbol, and shape recognition. Here, a method is proposed for the approximation of polylines with straight segments, circular arcs, and free curves.
