Abstract:
The medial surface that lies within a solid object, better known as the skeleton, is a local shape descriptor which is capable of capturing the shape and topological properties of a complex object. Due to its simple, yet informational nature, the skeleton shape descriptor has been widely used in graphics and computer vision for matching purposes.
