- Abstract
This paper presents a new approach for calculating the Euler characteristic in 2D binary images. The problem is addressed using the Three OrThogonal symbol chain code (3OT code), using only one symbol for the calculation of the Euler characteristic. Using this code, it is possible to introduce new geometric concepts represented by the same symbol of the 3OT alphabet and to simplify the overall equation of the Euler characteristic. This process is supported by the proof of a set of theorems and their numerical validation, using a set of binary images with a variable number of holes. Thus, this research proves that the 3OT code can be used not only for image compression as reported in the literature, but also to simplify the expression of the Euler characteristic as well as for the analysis and simplification of the shape of contours.
