Abstract

In this work we describe a geometric method to smooth the boundary of a discrete 3D object. The method is reversible in the sense that the discrete boundary can be retrieved by digitizing the smoothed one. To this end, we propose a representation of the boundary of a discrete volume that we call Euclidean net and which is a generalization to the three-dimensional space of Euclidean Path introduced by Braquelaire and Vialard. Euclidean nets can be associated either to voxel based boundaries or to inter-voxel based boundaries. In this paper we focus on the first approach.
