....Abstract We wish to extract the topology from scanned maps. In previous work [GNY96] this was done by extracting a skeleton from the Voronoi diagram, but this required vertex labelling and was only useable for polygon maps. We wished to take the crust algorithm of Amenta, Bern and Eppstein [ABE98] and modify it to extract the skeleton from unlabelled vertices. We find that by reducing the algorithm to a local test on the original Voronoi diagram we may extract both a crust and a skeleton simultaneously, using a variant of the Quad Edge structure of [GS85] We show that this crust has the ....
....this process the small dumbbells represent the Quad Edge Quad Arc topology. The difficulties with this approach are that the fringe points have to be labelled, and that only polygon type maps can be produced. These limitations are overcome due to the work of Amenta, Bern and Eppstein [ABE98], who showed that the crust of a curve or polygon boundary can be extracted from unstructured (and unlabelled) input data points if the original curve is sufficiently well sampled. Their intuition was Figure 6: Voronoi diagram of sample points on curve. Figure 7: Skeleton and crust segment. ....
