Reverse Engineering of Planar Objects Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

Soft computing techniques have drawn plenty of attention to solve complicated optimization problems. Reverse Engineering is an area which is also affected by these techniques. This paper introduces an algorithm for reverse engineering of planar objects using a soft computing technique known as Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). Cubic spline with shape parameters is used to obtain optimized curves to the boundary of the planar image.
