Abstract
All operations discussed in Chapters 11–15 extracted features from images that are represented as images again. Even the morphological operations discussed in Chapter 18 that analyze and modify the shape of segmented objects in binary images work in this way. It is obvious, however, that the shape of objects can be represented in a much more compact form. All information on the shape of an object is, for example, contained in its boundary pixels.
