The eikonal equation and variants of it are of significant interest for problems in computer vision and image processing. It is the basis for continuous versions of mathematical morphology, stereo, shape-from-shading and for recent dynamic theories of shape....

"A computational study of the Fast Marching and the Fast Sweeping methods for the Eikonal equation is given. It is shown that even though Fast Sweeping requires asymptotically less operations than Fast Marching, the latter method is faster than the former for the problems under consideration and for realistic grid sizes....

This technical report discusses Sethian's Fast Marching Method and its higher accuracy variant. Both methods may be used to compute the arrival times at the points of a discrete lattice of a front which is monotonously expanding. Applications of the method include arrival time computation and the construction of distance fields for 2D or 3D objects....

In this paper, we present a novel framework for computing centerlines for both 2D and 3D shape analysis. The framework works as follows: an object centerline point is selected automatically as the point of global maximum Euclidean distance from the boundary, and is considered a point source (PS) that transmits a wave front that evolves over time and traverses the object domain....

A wide range of computer vision applications such as distance field computation, shape from shading, and shape representation require an accurate solution of a particular Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation, known as the Eikonal equation....

In this paper, we propose a new variational framework for computing continuous curve skeletons from discrete objects that are suitable for structural shape representation. We have derived a new energy function, which is proportional to some medialness function, such that the minimum cost path between any two medial voxels in the shape is a curve skeleton....

A wide range of computer vision applications require an accurate solution of a particular Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equation known as the Eikonal equation. In this paper, we propose an improved version of the fast marching method (FMM) that is highly accurate for both 2D and 3D Cartesian domains....

Representing a 3D shape by a set of one-dimensional curves that are locally symmetric with respect to its boundary (i.e., curve skeletons) is of importance in several machine intelligence tasks. This paper presents a fast, automatic, and robust variational framework for computing continuous, sub-voxel accurate curve skeletons from volumetric objects....
