Popis: The medial axis of a planar shape is the set of points having at least two closest points on the shape boundary. This notion is widely used in computer science. In this paper we propose a mathematical model enabling us to define the notion of a curve skeleton as a 3D generalization of the 2D medial axis. We propose a criterion for comparing various particular methods for the construction of curve skeletons.
