Thinning is a frequently applied skeletonization technique: border points that satisfy certain
topological and geometric constraints are deleted in iteration steps. Sequential thinning …

Thinning is a frequently used technique capable of producing all kinds of skeleton-like
shape features in a topology-preserving way. It is an iterative object reduction: some border …

A widely used skeletonization technique is thinning, which is an iterative layer-by-layer
erosion in a topology preserving way. In the conventional implementation of thinning …

Thinning is an iterative object reduction to obtain skeletons from binary digital pictures. The
object boundary is traversed in an iteration step of a sequential thinning algorithm, and the …

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for producing skeletons from digital binary
pictures in a topology-preserving way. Bertrand proposed a two-step thinning scheme that is …

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for extracting skeletons or medial surfaces from
volumetric binary objects. It is an iterative object reduction: border points that satisfy certain …

This paper aims at three aspects closely related to each other: first, it presents the state of
the art in the area of thinning methodologies, by giving descriptions of general ideas of the …

Thinning is a widely used approach for skeletonization. Sequential thinning algorithms use
contour tracking: they scan border points and remove the actual one if it is not designated a …

Grayscale skeletonization offers an interesting alternative to traditional skeletonization
following a binarization. It is well known that parallel algorithms for skeletonization …

Thinning algorithms on binary images are used to generate skeletons that preserve the
same connectivity structures as the objects in the original images. Two kinds of skeletons …
