In this paper, we propose new definitions of digital Jordan curves and digital Jordan surfaces. We start with introducing and studying closure operators on a given set that are associated with n-ary relations (n > 1 an integer) on this set. Discussed are in particular the closure operators associated with certain n-ary relations on the digital line ℤ. Of these relations, we focus on a ternary one equipping the digital plane ℤ2 and the digital space ℤ3 with the closure operator associated with the direct product of two and three, respectively, copies of this ternary relation. The connectedness provided by the closure operator is shown to be suitable for defining digital curves satisfying a digital Jordan curve theorem and digital surfaces satisfying a digital Jordan surface theorem.

In an undirected simple graph, we define connectedness induced by a set of walks of the same lengths. We show that the connectedness is preserved by the strong product of graphs with walk sets. This result is used to introduce a graph on the vertex set Z2 with sets of walks that is obtained as the strong product of a pair of copies of a graph on the vertex set Z with certain walk sets. It is proved that each of the walk sets in the graph introduced induces connectedness on Z2 that satisfies a digital analogue of the Jordan curve theorem. It follows that the graph with any of the walk sets provides a convenient structure on the digital plane Z2 for the study of digital images.

Natural Way

The importance of topological connectedness properties in processing digital pictures is well known. A natural way to begin a theory for this is to give a definition of connectedness for subsets of a digital plane which allows one to prove a Jordan curve theorem. The generally accepted approach to this has been a non-topological Jordan curve theorem which requires two different definitions, 4-connectedness, and 8-connectedness, one for the curve and the other for its complement.In [KKM] we introduced a purely topological context for a digital plane and proved a Jordan curve theorem. The present paper gives a topological proof of the non-topological Jordan curve theorem mentioned above and extends our previous work by considering some questions associated with image processing:How do more complicated curves separate the digital plane into connected sets? Conversely given a partition of the digital plane into connected sets, what are the boundaries like and how can we recover them? Our construction gives a unified answer to these questions.The crucial step in making our approach topological is to utilize a natural connected topology on a finite, totally ordered set; the topologies on the digital spaces are then just the associated product topologies. Furthermore, this permits us to define path, arc, and curve as certain continuous functions on such a parameter interval.
