TY - JOUR T1 - Computing morse decompositions for triangulated terrains: an analysis and an experimental evaluation JF - Image Analysis and Processing–ICIAP 2011 Y1 - 2011 A1 - Vitali,M. A1 - De Floriani, Leila A1 - Magillo,P. AB - We consider the problem of extracting the morphology of a terrain discretized as a triangle mesh. We discuss first how to transpose Morse theory to the discrete case in order to describe the morphology of triangulated terrains. We review algorithms for computing Morse decompositions, that we have adapted and implemented for triangulated terrains. We compare the the Morse decompositions produced by them, by considering two different metrics. M3 - 10.1007/978-3-642-24085-0_58 ER -
