Abstract

In this paper, we study out a method for computing digital homotopy groups in higher dimensions. We investigate the relation between a digital image and its nth homotopy group when n is greater than 1 and show that a digital covering map which is a radius 2 local isomorphism induces an isomorphism between digital homotopy groups in higher dimensions. © 2014 NSP Natural Sciences Publishing Cor.
