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...
Abstract. The notion of skeleton plays a major role in shape analysis. Some usually desirable characteristics of a skeleton are: sufficient for the reconstruction of the original o...
A comparison of several indexing techniques for complex object in object-oriented database systems is presented, based on assumption of non-uniform distribution of attribute value...
We propose a novel type of decomposition for polygonal shapes. It is thought that, for the task of object recognition, the human visual system uses a part-based representation. De...
—Medial representations of shapes are useful due to their use of an object-centered coordinate system that directly captures intuitive notions of shape such as thickness, bending...
