Abstract

Topological invariants are extremely useful in many applications related to digital imaging and geometric modelling, and homology is a classical one. We present an algorithm that computes the whole homology of an object of arbitrary dimension: Betti numbers, torsion coefficients and generators. Results on classical shapes in algebraic topology are presented and discussed.
