Definition of "chamfer distance" |
a digital distance based on a chamfer mask, which gives the distance between a pixel and those in its neighborhood; then the chamfer distance between two non-neighboring pixels (resp., voxels) is the smallest weighted length of a digital path joining them. The word “chamfer” comes from the fact that with such a distance a circle is in fact a polygon. The n-dimensional Manhattan and chessboard distances are chamfer distances; the Euclidean distance is not. In the 2-D plane, the best chamfer distances are given by the (3, 4) and (5, 7, 11) Chamfer masks: in the (3, 4) mask, a pixel is at distance 3 from its horizontal/vertical neighbors and at distance 4 from its diagonal neighbors, while in the (5, 7, 11) mask, it is at distance 5 from its horizontal/vertical neighbors, at distance 7 from its diagonal neighbors, and at distance 11 from its neighbors distant by 1 and 2 respectively along the two axes. |
