Abstract

In this paper we investigate an approach for constructing a connected digitization of an object S@?R^n by taking the integer points within an offset of S of a certain radius. We consider the cases when S is a curve, surface, and an arbitrary path-connected object. We determine the minimal value of the offset radius which guarantees connectivity of the digitization. We also derive conditions under which the offset digitization of a disconnected object is always connected.
