Poisson skeleton
Gilles Aubert 1, Jean-François Aujol 2
(2012-07-03)

This paper is concerned with the computation of the skeleton of a shape $\Omega$ included in $\R^2$. We show some connections between the Euclidean distance function $d$ to $\partial \Omega$ and the solution $u$ of the Poisson problem $\Delta u(x)=-1$ if $x$ is in $\Omega$ and $u(x)=0$ if $x$ is on $\partial \Omega$. This enables us to propose a new and fast algorithm to compute an approximation of the skeleton of $\partial \Omega$. We illustrate the approach with some numerical experiments.
