Abstract

This article presents a nearest neighbor transform for gray-level surfaces. It is based on the Distance Transform on Curved Space (DTOCS) calculated using an efficient priority pixel queue algorithm. A simple extension of the algorithm produces the nearest neighbor transform simultaneously with the distance map. The transformations can be applied for example to estimate surface roughness.
