Projection-homeomorphic surfaces

Published: 13 June 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Consider two (n - 1)-dimensional manifolds, S and S' in Rn. We say that they are projection-homeomorphic when the closest projection of each one onto the other is a homeomorphism. We give tight conditions under which S and S' are projection-homeomorphic. These conditions involve the local feature size for S and for S' and the Hausdorff distance between them. Our results hold for arbitrary n.
