Abstract

Medial Axis is known to be unstable for non smooth objects. For an open set O, we define the Weak Feature Size, wfs, minimum distance between Oc and the critical points of the function distance to Oc. We introduce the "Lambda-Medial Axis" of O, Mλ, a subset of the Medial Axis of O which captures the Homotopy type of O when λ λ remains stable under Hausdorff distance perturbations of Oc.
