Abstract
We apply traditional bimanual curve modeling using French curves to the problem of automatic neatening of sketched strokes. Given a sketched input stroke and a set of template French curves we present an approach that fits the stroke using an optimal number of French curve segments. Our algorithm operates in both curvature andpoint space, reconstructing the salient curvature profiles of French curve segments, while limiting error accumulation resulting from curvature integration. User-controlled parameters allow the neatened stroke to model G2 continuous curves, capture G1 discontinuities, define closed curves and explore the trade-off between fitting errorand the number of French curve segments used. We present an interactive sketch stroke neatening implementation to demonstrate the real-time performance of our algorithm and evaluate the quality of its results.
