What may not be so evident is the way it brings together the play of circularity and rectangularity in the windows themselves, and indeed in the whole architecture (which, I should have mentioned earlier, is derived from the orthogonal crossing of two semicircular barrel vaults).
Based on these geometric features, digital morphological features such as rectangularity, circularity, etc.

To gain a fracture mask, Hessian Matrix and Frangi filter are firstly adopted to enhance the curvilinear structures, then after image binarization, the spurious-fractures and noises are removed by synthesizing the area, circularity and rectangularity. For the second step, for extracting a fracture centerline, according to the mask above, Steger algorithm is used on the original image to detect and link the centerline points, and then the centerline segments are linked based on the distances and angle differences.
