Resumen
Digital geometry is concerned with the study of geometrical properties of objects in the discrete space. Representing a line segment, a circle, or in general a curve, on a rectangular grid is a fundamental problem in digital geometry, and is extremely important in image processing, and also in computer graphics for visualization of curves and shapes. In this talk, we will introduce the basic concepts of digital geometry, elucidate elementary properties of a digital line segment, provide number-theoretic interpretation of a digital circle, and finally describe several domains, e.g., image retrieval, shape description, and document analysis, where these concepts can be deployed for exciting applications.
