Abstract:
Curvature is a frequently used property in two-dimensional (2D) shape analysis, directly or for derived features such as corners or convex and concave arcs. This paper presents curvature estimators which follow approaches in differential geometry. Digital-straight segment approximation (as known from digital geometry) is used in those estimators. Results of multigrid experiments are evaluated leading to a comparative performance analysis of several curvature estimators.
