1. A method for determining stroke width of symbols contained in binary encoded image data, comprising: extracting a symbol; creating histograms of the extracted symbol; determining a total mass of the extracted symbol; summing a number of pixels from selected histogram groups; summing a number of runs used to determine the number of pixels; and determining the stroke width of the extracted symbol based on the number of pixels and the number of runs.
