Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present Digital Level Layers and show 
the motivations for working with such analytical primitives in the 
framework of Digital Geometry. We first compare their properties to 
morphological and topological counterparts, and then we explain how to 
recognize them and use them to decompose or vectorize digital curves and 
contours.
