  • Abstract
    Segmentation is always a difficult task in image analysis. In this paper, we propose a solution to computing distance transforms in images with fuzzy object borders. The difference from a standard distance transform is in the initialisation, which takes the fuzziness of the border into account. As an example of its usefulness, the new fuzzy border distance transform is used in skeletonization.
