However, the effective analysis and understanding of information embedded in chart images depends on accurate reverse-engineering of the behavior of depicted variables. In this paper, we propose a methodology, named Abax, as an initial study for recognizing and approximating the mathematical functions that describe the behavior of variables illustrated in chart images, particularly those containing curves. Abax is focused on approximating the values of function parameters using spatial pixel information derived from the identified keypoints of each curve. Qualitative results of the described method are presented as a proof of concept, demonstrating accurate extraction of information from fives types of functions: linear, polynomial, asymptotic, sinusoidal and arbitrary. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218213024500076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]],"date-time":"2024-03-29T04:55:05Z","timestamp":1711688105000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Abax: Extracting Mathematical Formulas from Chart Images Using Spatial Pixel Information"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Michail S.","family":"Alexiou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kennesaw State University, Department of Computer Science, Atlanta GA, USA"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos G.","family":"Bourbakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wright State University, CART Center, Dayton, OH, USA"},{"name":"Technical University of Crete, Chania, Greece"},{"name":"BAIF Foundation, OH, USA"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/WACV48630.2021.00196"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18653\/v1\/2022.findings-acl.177"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICDAR.2015.7333871"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-14600-8_21"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/ICTAI52525.2021.00091"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.patrec.2023.11.004"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/TPAMI.2020.2992028"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-319-71249-9_9"},{"key":"S0218213024500076BIB011","first-page":"226","volume-title":"Proc. of the Second Int.
