Abstract
Rosenfeld (1974) introduced the chord property for the characterizatio n of digital straight segments. By re-examining the notion of nearness , we present a new property, the skeleton property, and show its equiv alence to the chord property. The property can be a useful alternative for testing digital straightness, particularly in the context of skel etonization of binary line images.
