I'm trying to understand the chain coding method. Could someone explain what it is and how it works?

    Instead of relying on straightforward binary image coding or coordinate representations, it focuses on encoding contour directions.

    This method is efficient as it simplifies the data required to represent contours.

    The process involves identifying the direction from each pixel to its neighboring pixel along the contour.

    By storing these directional changes, chain coding achieves a more compact representation of contours.
