Abstract :
A symmetrical axis transform (SAT) using geodesic morphology for 3-D object representation is proposed. The SAT has been previously defined using Euclidean morphological operations. An extension of the SAT to represent arbitrary non-Euclidean surfaces using geodesic operators is described. The concept of a surface skeleton is defined. Initial experimental results are also provided.<>
