Periodic Lines and their Application to Granulometries

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Computational Imaging and Vision ((CIVI,volume 5))

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the notion of periodic lines. In contrast to other types of digital lines such as Bresenham lines, periodic lines can be used to generate a wide range of granulometric functions via structural decomposition.
