Current approaches to model nasal airflow are reviewed in this study, and new findings
presented. These new results make use of improvements to computational and experimental …

Skeletonization provides an effective and compact representation of objects, which is useful
for object description, retrieval, manipulation, matching, registration, tracking, recognition …

Fast Marching Methods are numerical schemes for computing solutions to the nonlinear
Eikonal equation and related static Hamilton--Jacobi equations. Based on entropy-satisfying …

Implicit representations can provide simple descriptions of relatively complex shapes and
can in many cases be a good choice when designing stable shape processing algorithms …

Digital geometry is about deriving geometric information from digital pictures. The field
emerged from its mathematical roots some forty-years ago through work in computer-based …

This book provides an introduction to the use of geometric partial differential equations in
image processing and computer vision. This research area brings a number of new …

Given a shape, a skeleton is a thin centered structure which jointly describes the topology
and the geometry of the shape. Skeletons provide an alternative to classical boundary or …

The last half century has seen the development of many biological or physical t-ories that
have explicitly or implicitly involved medial descriptions of objects and other spatial entities …

This accessible textbook examines the basic technologies needed to support image
processing applications, including the characterization of continuous images, image …

In this paper, we introduce a new skeleton pruning method based on contour partitioning.
Any contour partition can be used, but the partitions obtained by discrete curve evolution …
