A Tracing Algorithm for Constructing Medial Axis Transform of 3D Objects Bound by Free-Form Surfaces
This paper presents an algorithm for generating the Medial Axis Transform(MAT) of 3D objects with free-form boundaries. The algorithm proposed uses the exact representation of the...

Stability Analysis of Medial Axis Transform under Relative Hausdorff Distance
Medial axis transform (MAT) is a basic tool for shape analysis. But, in spite of its usefulness, it has some drawbacks, one of which is its instability under the boundary perturba...

Regularizing 3D medial axis using medial scaffold transforms
This paper addresses a key bottleneck in the use of the 3D medial axis (MA) representation, namely, how the complex MA structure can be regularized so that similar, within-categor...

Shape Simplification Based on the Medial Axis Transform
We present a new algorithm for simplifying the shape of 3D objects by manipulating their medial axis transform (MAT). From an unorganized set of boundary points, our algorithm com...

The Groupwise Medial Axis Transform for Fuzzy Skeletonization and Pruning
—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...
