Skeleton-Based Shape Segmentation

Abstract

Shape decomposition into meaningful parts (segmentation) problem is considered in this paper. The shape is given either as a raster object on a homogeneous background or as a polygonal figure. A new shape decomposition approach is called skeleton-based segmentation. The approach is based on continuous skeletons that provides an opportunity to construct visually proper segmentations reflecting the shape structure. The proposed skeleton-based segmentation method stands out against known methods because it is suitable to work correctly with pairs of shapes. For a pair of shapes it is proposed to construct isomorphic skeleton-based segmentations which can be used on shape comparison and morphing applications.
