Abstract

The test mask TM is the minimum neighbourhood sufficient to extract the medial axis of any discrete shape, for a given chamfer distance mask M. We propose an arithmetical framework to study TM in the case of chamfer norms. We characterize TM for 3×3 and 5×5 chamfer norm masks, and we give an algorithm to compute the appearance radius of the vector (2, 1) in TM.
