In order to make image analysis methods more reliable it is important to analyse to what extend shape information is preserved during image digitization. Most existing approaches t...
Topology is a fundamental property of shapes in pictures. Since the input for any image analysis algorithm is a digital image, which does not need to have the same topological char...
Connectivity and neighborhood are fundamental topological properties of objects in pictures. Since the input for any image analysis algorithm is a digital image, which does not ne...
Abstract. The expressiveness of a lot of image analysis algorithms depends on the question whether shape information is preserved during digitization. Most existing approaches to a...
Skeleton is a frequently applied shape feature to represent the general form of an object. Thinning is an iterative object reduction technique for producing a reasonable approximat...
