A generalized morphological skeleton transform and extraction of structural shape components
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a generalized morphological skeleton transform that uses eight structuring elements to generate skeleton subsets. The number of representative points needed to represent a given shape is significantly lower than in the standard skeleton transform. A collection of shape components needed to build a structural representation is easily selected from the shape elements generated in the generalized skeleton transform. Each shape component covers a significant area of the given shape and severe overlapping is avoided. The given shape can also be accurately approximated using a small number of shape components.

Shape Matching Using both Internal and External Morphological Shape Components
A number of morphological shape representation algorithms have been proposed over the years. However, not many shape matching algorithms have been developed based on these representation algorithms. In this paper, we present a structural shape matching algorithm that uses both internal and external shape components selected from the maximal disks determined by a traditional and a generalized mo...

This paper attempts to introduce the concept of moment invariance into the classification algorithm based on the morphological boundary extraction and generalized skeleton transform, and tries to propose a new method about shape classification in this field. Firstly, the method extracts boundary of the object, secondly, skeleton using main skeleton extraction algorithm based on visual important...
متن کاملError Free Iterative Morphological Decomposition Algorithm for Shape Representation
Problem statement: A generalized skeleton transform allows a shape to be represented as a collection of modestly overlapped octagonal shape parts. One problem with several generalized Morphological skeleton transforms is that they generate noise after decomposition. The noise rate may not be effective for ordinary images; however this effect will be more when applied on printed or handwritten c...
متن کاملPattern Spectrum and Multiscale Shape Representation
This paper reports the results of a study of multiscale shape description, smoothing and representation. Multiscale nonlinear smoothing filters are first developed by using morphological openings and closings. These filters smooth signals while preserving their edges, and use a definition of scale that agrees with the spatial size of image objects. Matheron used openings and closings to obtain ...
متن کاملBinary shape recognition using the morphological skeleton transform
-Binary image representation by its morphological skeleton transform has been proposed in the past as an information preserving representation. In this paper this skeleton representation is adopted as the start point for the development of a binary shape recognition scheme. A skeleton matching algorithm is presented that efficiently characterizes the similarity between two skeletons as a distan...
