We study the problem of discretization in a Hausdorff space followed in [WTR 98]. We recall the definitions and properties of the Hausdorff discretization of a compact set. We also study the relationship between the covering discretizations and the Hausdorff discretization. For a cellular metric every covering discretization minimizes the Hausdorff distance, and conversely, if the supercover discretization minimizes the Hausdorff distance then the metric is cellular. The supercover discretization is the Hausdorff discretization iff the metric is proportional to d ∞. We compare also the Hausdorff discretization and the Bresenham discretization [Bres 65]. Actually, the Bresenham discretization of a segment of IR 2 is not always a good discretization relatively to a Hausdorff metric.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
