System and method for contiguous images from polygons
First Claim
1. A method for generating an image from a plurality of contiguous polygons having vertices, the method comprising:
- calculating via a processor a shape value associated with a polygon by determining a curvature function of the polygon and performing a Fourier transform of the first curvature function to calculate the shape value;
calculating an altered shape value associated with an altered polygon, the altered polygon being an altered version of the polygon;
calculating a shape distortion by comparing the shape value and the altered shape value; and
determining whether to accept the altered polygon based on the calculated shape distortion.

Abstract
A system, method and computer-readable media are disclosed for generating an image from another image of contiguous polygons and a vector containing values to which areas of corresponding polygons are scaled. The method embodiment relates to generating an image from a plurality of contiguous polygons having vertices. The method comprises calculating a shape value associated with a polygon, calculating an altered shape value associated with an altered polygon, the altered polygon being an altered version of the polygon, calculating a shape distortion by comparing the shape value and the altered shape value and determining whether to accept the altered polygon based on the calculated shape distortion.
