  • Abstract
    The problem of extending the curvature scale-space (CSS) technique to represent open curves is addressed. Various approaches for dealing with the endpoint problem of open curves are considered, and one is selected which allows us to handle the evolution of the open curves as a special case of the evolution of closed curves. The convergence theory of evolved open curves is established, and the CSS shape representation is investigated.
