Abstract
An adaptive algorithm to compute the medial axis transform of 2D polygonal domains with arbitrary genus is presented. The algorithm is based on the refinement of a coarse medial axis transform by subdividing the domain adaptively. The algorithm provides the medial axis represented by a set of triangles of a predefined size and the closest boundary element. Examples of results are also presented to illustrate the method.
