Abstract
A method represents a shape of an object in an image. Portions of the image interior to a boundary of the object are ordered. A medial axis for the ordered portions of the image is derived. The medial axis is segmented to produce an ordered tree. The ordered tree is transformed to a partial ordered tree to represent the shape of the object.
