Abstract:
We present an accurate numerical scheme for the affine plane curve evolution and its morphological extension to grey-level images. This scheme is based on the iteration of a nonlocal, fully affine invariant and numerically stable operator, which can be exactly computed on polygons. The properties of this operator ensure that a few iterations are sufficient to achieve a very good accuracy, unlike classical finite difference schemes that generally require a lot of iterations. Convergence results are provided, as well as theoretical examples and experiments.
