Abstract

The expressiveness of a lot of image analysis algorithms depends on the question whether shape information is preserved during digitization. Most existing approaches to answer this are restricted to binary images and only consider nearest neighbor reconstruction. This paper generalizes this to grayscale images and to several reconstruction methods. It is shown that a certain class of images can be sampled with regular and even irregular grids and reconstructed with different interpolation methods without any change in the topology of the level sets of interest.
