Abstract
Automatic determination of shape parameters is still a current issue due to the dynamic development of technologies requiring image or geometric data analysis. The research described in this paper presents a new approach to the estimation of shape elongation and the calculation of lengths of shapes whose boundaries may be represented by polygons. The proposed algorithm is based on the Delaunay triangulation. The new approach may play a significant role in practical applications concerning spatial pattern analysis, land fragmentation and efficiency of projects focused on land consolidation and landscape fragmentation analysis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
