Abstract

This paper presents a structural shape representation scheme in which a binary shape is represented by a number of convex polygons organized into a hierarchical tree structure. Morphological operations are used in the implementation of the scheme. The representation scheme provides natural and effective descriptions of binary shapes and has simple and efficient implementations.
