Writing Reusable Digital Topology Algorithms in a Generic Image Processing Framework
Roland Levillain, Thierry Géraud, Laurent Najman · 2010
Abstract. Digital Topology software should reflect the generality of the underlying mathematics: mapping the latter to the former requires gener-icity. By designing generic solutions, one can effectively reuse digital topology data structures and algorithms. We propose an image process-ing framework focused on the Generic Programming paradigm in which an algorithm on the paper can be turned into a single code, written once and usable with various input types. This approach enables users to design and implement new methods at a lower cost, try cross-domain experiments and help generalize results. 1
