Digital Geometry

The first book on digital geometry by the leaders in the field

Digital geometry is about deriving geometric information from digital pictures. This book details the concepts, algorithms, and practices of the discipline. It provides a collection of algorithms for a variety of geometrical picture analysis tasks, including extracting data from digital images and making geometric measurements on the data.Digital geometry is about deriving geometric information from digital pictures. The field emerged from its mathematical roots some forty-years ago through work in computer-based imaging, and it is used today in many fields, such as digital image processing and analysis (with applications in medical imaging, pattern recognition, and robotics) and of course computer graphics. Digital Geometry is the first book to detail the concepts, algorithms, and practices of the discipline. This comphrehensive text and reference provides an introduction to the mathematical foundations of digital geometry, some of which date back to ancient times, and also discusses the key processes involved, such as geometric algorithms as well as operations on pictures.
