A New Approach to Medial Axis Transformation of Objects with Smooth Boundary

Medial axis transformation is an important concept used in many engineering applications. We propose a new approach to medial axis transformation of 2D objects with smooth boundary. Our approach differs from the traditional ones: we construct the medial axis starting from the inside points, while the previous algorithms started from the boundary points. As a result, previous algorithms are highly sensitive to the small irregularities of the object's boundary curve, while our approach is robust.
