Abstract
Area is one of the features most widely used for figure description. The simplest way to evaluate it, is to count the pixels constituting the figure at hand. However, when data reduction techniques are employed for storage or description purposes, the figure itself is no longer available, and suitable methods for area measurement are needed.
