Algorithm 2

Obtaining a FFCC.
Input: Train image (matrix)
Sortie: Freeman Chain Code (FCC)
(1) Select a starting point .
(2) Find the first coding (D, G, H or B) from the starting point.
(3) Store the first coder.
(4) New starting point = coding point.
(5)While New starting point do
(5.1)  Find the next coder.
(5.2)  Store the coder.
(6)End while
(7)Return coding chain
