An algorithm for a generalized distance transformation based on Minkowski operations
Xiaoli Wang, Gilles Bertrand · 2003
A generalized distance transformation of binary images based on successive Minkowski operations is discussed. This distance transformation is obtained by using a two-scan algorithm. A related medial axis for image compression is defined. As an example of the transformation's application, a fast algorithm for elementary morphological operations with an arbitrary structuring element is given.>
