Multiscale Discrete Geometry

Abstract

This paper presents a first step in analyzing how digital shapes behave with respect to multiresolution. We first present an analysis of the covering of a standard digital straight line by a multi-resolution grid. We then study the multi-resolution of Digital Straight Segments (DSS): we provide a sublinear algorithm computing the exact characteristics of a DSS whenever it is a subset of a known standard line. We finally deduce an algorithm for computing a multiscale representation of a digital shape, based only on a DSS decomposition of its boundary.
