The k-distance transformation (k-DT) computes the k nearest patterns from each location on a discrete regular grid within a D dimensional volume, which Warfield [Patt. Rec. Letters, 17(1996) 713-721] proposed to implement using 2^D raster scans. We investi ...
In this thesis we deal with three different but connected questions. Firstly (cf. Chapter 2) we make a systematic study of the generalized notions of convexity for sets. We study the notions of polyconvex, quasiconvex and rank one convex set. We remark tha ...
