Measuring perimeter of a ...and to introduce the topic discrete object Nataša Sladoje Introduction • The task of image analysis is to extract relevant information from Main story images. Area coverage digitization • Images contain discrete representations of real continuous objects. Slopes and difference of column sums • Our aim is usually to obtain information about continuous real Optimization Local computations objects, having available their discrete representations. Rotations of the plane • Different numerical descriptors, such as area, perimeter, moments, of Length estimation Complete algorithm the objects are often of interest, for the tasks of shape analysis, Evaluation and classification, etc. examples Conclusions • Accurate and precise perimeter estimates of the real objects, based on their discrete representations, have been of interest for more than forty years, and many papers are published on that topic; the problem still attracts attention.
Measuring perimeter of a Formulation of the problem discrete object Nataša Sladoje Having a discrete representation of a real object, inscribed and digitized in an integer grid, Introduction estimate its perimeter (length of its border) with as small Main story Area coverage digitization error as possible. Slopes and difference of column sums Small error provides not only accurate, but also precise Optimization Local computations estimates. Rotations of the We obtain correct feature values - accuracy . plane Length estimation Complete algorithm Repeated measurements provide very similar results - Evaluation and examples precision .

Measuring perimeter of a ... and a way to solve it ... discrete object Nataša Sladoje Introduction Main story Area coverage digitization Slopes and difference of column sums Optimization Local computations Rotations of the plane Length estimation Complete algorithm ...walk along the object boundary and accumulate local step Evaluation and examples lengths . Conclusions A digital boundary of an object (green) consists of horizontal and vertical links corresponding to pixel edges. Its length is obtained by simply counting pixel edges traversed. Such a perimeter estimate leads to a large overestimate. Freeman chain coding can be used instead. Eight directions of steps connecting consecutive pixel centres lead to two step lengths . Accumulating the lengths of all the steps along the (inner) boundary of the object leads to perimeter estimation. Boundary detection is required.
