Digitizations associated with several types of digital topological approaches (Q520308)

The paper introduces several types of methods of digitizing subspaces of Euclidean space into the corresponding digital topological spaces such as Khalimsky and Marcus Wyse (for short, \(K\)- and \(M\)-, respectively) topological spaces. Besides, it also uses the lower limit and the upper limit (\(L\)-, \(U\)-, for short) topology to digitize subspaces of Euclidean space into a digital image in the Rosenfeld approach. To do this, the paper develops four kinds of local rules associated with \(L\)-, \(U\)-, \(K\)- and \(M\)-digitization. Besides, the paper proves that \(L\)-, \(U\)- and \(K\)-digitization preserves connectedness of objects, whereas \(M\)-digitization has some limitations concerning this property. The approach can be helpful to study applied topology and computer science related to digitization theory.
