3D-shape description requires the partition of objects in different parts. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on the analysis of a 3D skeleton. The skeleton is a repre...
Binary morphological transformations based on the residues (ultimate erosion, skeleton by openings, etc.) are extended to functions by means of the transformation definition and o...
We proposea new ngerprint imagecompressionscheme based on the hybrid model of image. Our scheme uses the essential steps of a typical automated ngerprint identi cation system (AFI...
We present a new method for robustly decomposing a 3D voxel shape into disjoint segments using the medial surface, also called surface skeleton. The boundaries of the simplified ...
Thinning of a binary object is an iterative layer by layer erosion to extract an approximation to its skeleton. In order to provide topology preservation, different thinning techn...
