The medial-axis transform, also called skeleton, is a shape abstraction proposed by computer vision. The concept is closely related to cyclographic maps, a tool developed by descriptive geometry to investigate distance functions, and to the solution of the eikonal equation. We discuss these connections and their implications on techniques for computing the skeleton.
