The distance transform (DT) and the medial axis transform (MAT) are two image computation tools used to extract the information about the shape and the position of the foreground ...
A large family of shape comparison methods is based on a medial axis transform combined with an encoding of the skeleton by a graph. Despite many qualities this encoding of shapes ...
Numerous simplification methods have been proposed for speeding up engineering analysis/ simulation. A recently proposed medial axis reduction is one such method, that is particul...
We propose efficiency of representation as a criterion for evaluating shape models, then apply this criterion to compare the boundary curve representation with the medial axis. We...
