Abstract:Abstract. The eccentricity transform associates to each point of a shape the distance to the point farthest away from it. The transform is defined in any dimension, for open and closed manyfolds, is robust to Salt & Pepper noise, and is quasi-invariant to articulated motion. This paper presents and algorithm to efficiently compute the eccentricity transform of a polygonal shape with or without holes. In particular, based on existing and new properties, we provide an algorithm to decompose a polygon using paral… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
