The auroral emissions observed in the high-latitude regions encircling the magnetic poles are a key element in studying plasmaphysical processes in the near-Earth space, the magne...
Skeletons are important shape descriptors in object representation and recognition. Typically, skeletons of volumetric models are computed using iterative thinning. However, tradi...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
Skeleton is a lower dimensional shape description of an object. The requirements of a skeleton differ with applications. For example, object recognition requires skeletons with pr...
Shape skeleton extraction is a fundamental preprocessing task in shape-based pattern recognition. This paper presents a new algorithm for fast and precise extraction of kinematic ...
