Cubical homology and the topological classification of 2D and 3D imagery
Madjid Állili, Konstantin Mischaikow, Allen Tannenbaum · 2002
There are a number of tasks in low level vision and image processing that involve computing certain topological characteristics of objects in a given image including connectivity and the number of holes. We combine a new combinatorial topology method to compute the number of connected components and holes of objects in a given image with fast segmentation methods to extract the objects.
