Thinning algorithms for stylus-generated images are presented which are based on the general ribbon model of stylus-generated images. These algorithms have several advantages over existing thinning algorithms, including the existence of a formal specification of the desired output of a thinning algo

โฆ Synopsis
General ribbons are presented as a mathematical model of stylusgenerated images which is based on the image formation process. One purpose of the model is to provide a formal basis for the development of thinning algorithms for the stroke components of stylusgenerated images. Before the stroke components can be thinned they must be segmented from the blob components of the image, which do not require thinning. The second purpose of the model is to provide a formal basis for the development of blob/stroke segmentation algorithms. Two blob/stroke segmentation algorithms based on the model are presented.

So far illumination models have often been examined intuitively by their shading effects. A way is needed to illustrate the shading functions so that the shading effects of the functions can be predicted, the comparisons among different functions are facilitated, and their validity can be checked on
When a human recognizes the shape of a 3D object, he observes the object from various directions. He seems to modify gradually the model that he has in his mind and finally recognizes the complete shape of the object. This article considers multiple 2D images taken from side views of a 3D object and
