	%X Representation and description of object shapes by the
slopes of their contours or borders are proposed. The idea is to capture
the essence of the features that make it easier for a shape to be
stored, transmitted, compared and recognized. These features must
be independent of translation, rotation and scaling of the shape. A
approach is proposed to obtain high performance, efficiency and to
merge the boundaries into sequence of straight line segments with
the fewest possible segments. Evaluation on the performance of the
proposed method is based on its comparison with established method
of object shape description.
