Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We introduce the polar distance transform and the grey weighted polar distance transform for computation of minimum cost paths preferring circular shape, as well as give algorithms for implementations in a digital setting. An alternative to the polar distance transform is to transform the image to polar coordinates, and then apply a Cartesian distance transform. By using the polar distance transform, re-sampling of the image and interpolation of new pixel values are avoided. We also handle the case of grey weighted distance transform in a $5\times 5$ neighbourhood, which, to our knowledge, is new. Initial results of using the grey weighted polar distance transform to outline annual rings in images of log end faces are presented.
