	~~The '''medial axis''' of an object is the set of all points having more than one closest point on the object~~'s boundary. Originally referred to as the [[topological skeleton]], it was introduced by Blum <ref>''A transformation for extracting new descriptors of shape'' H Blum, Models for the perception of speech and visual form, 1967 [http://pageperso.lif.univ-mrs.fr/~edouard.thiel/rech/1967-blum.pdf]
	~~</ref> as a tool for biological [[shape]] recognition.~~
	~~In mathematics the [[closure (topology)\|closure]] of the medial axis~~ is ~~known as the [[cut locus]].~~

	In 2D, the medial axis of a subset ''S'' which is bounded by planar curve ''C'' is the locus of the centers of circles that are tangent to curve ''C'' in two or more points, where all such circles are contained in ''S''. (It follows that the medial axis itself is contained in ''S''.)
	~~The medial axis of a [[simple polygon]] is a tree whose leaves are the vertices of the~~
	~~polygon,~~ and ~~whose edges are either straight segments or arcs of parabolas~~.

	~~The medial axis together with the associated radius function of the maximally inscribed discs is called the '''medial axis transform''' ('''MAT'''). The medial axis transform~~ is a ~~complete shape descriptor (see also [[shape analysis]]), meaning that it can be used to reconstruct the [[shape]] of the original domain~~.

	~~The medial axis is~~ a ~~subset of the~~ '~~''[[symmetry set]]''', which is defined similarly, except that it also includes circles not contained~~ in '~~'S''~~. ~~(Hence, the symmetry set of ''S'' generally extends to infinity, similar to the [[Voronoi diagram]] of a point set.)~~

	~~The medial axis generalizes to k-dimensional hypersurfaces by replacing 2D circles with k-dimension hyperspheres. The 2D medial axis~~ is useful for [[optical character recognition\|character]] and object recognition, while the 3D medial axis has applications in [[surface reconstruction]] for physical models, and for dimensional reduction of complex models.

Hi there, I am Alyson Pomerleau and I think it sounds quite good when you say it. Invoicing is my profession. For years he's been residing in Alaska and he doesn't plan on altering it.
