Metric bases in digital geometry

TL;DR: It is shown that for Euclidean distance, the minimal metric bases for the digital plane are just the sets of three noncollinear points; but for city block or chessboard distance,The digital plane has no finite metric basis.

Digital geometry

TL;DR: Questions of particular interest include how images and image subsets are digitized; how geometric properties are defined for digitized sets; the computational complexity of computing them--in particular, whether they can be computed using simple (e.g., local) operations; characterizing image operations that preserve them; and characterizing digital objects that could be the digitizations of real objects that have given geometric properties.

Computer Processing of Line-Drawing Images

TL;DR: Various forms of line drawing representation are described, different schemes of quantization are compared, and the manner in which a line drawing can be extracted from a tracing or a photographic image is reviewed.

Digital Straight Line Segments

TL;DR: It is shown that a digital arc S is the digitization of a straight line segment if and only if it has the "chord property:" the line segment joining any two points of S lies everywhere within distance 1 of S.

Minimum-Perimeter Polygons of Digitized Silhouettes

TL;DR: It is shown that, by properly marking the virtual as well as the real vertices of an MPP, the MPP can serve as a precise representation of any regular complex, and that this representation is often an economical one.

Linguistic Methods for the Description of a Straight Line on a Grid

TL;DR: This paper describes the construction of strings representing straight lines in an arbitrary direction on a grid and compares some grammatical systems that generate these strings and compares them to Lindenmayer grammars, which are quite useless but still very convenient.
