The skeletonization of binary images is a common task in many image processing and
machine learning applications. Some of these applications require very fast image …

A 3D thinning algorithm erodes a 3D binary image layer by layer to extract the skeletons.
This paper presents a correction to Ma and Sonka's thinning algorithm,'A fully parallel 3D …

Thinning is a frequently used method for extracting skeletons of objects in discrete spaces. It
is a layer by layer erosion of the objects until only their skeletons are left. This paper …

A one-pass parallel thinning algorithm based on a number of criteria, including connectivity,
unit-width convergence, medial axis approximation, noise immunity, and efficiency, is …

A comparison between two fully parallel thinning algorithms designed for images sampled
on the square and hexagonal grids is reported. Using techniques from mathematical …

A thinning algorithm is a very important factor in recognizing the characters, figures and
drawings. Until comparatively lately, various methods have been proposed for the thinning …

One of the most widely used methods for preprocessing binary images is thinning. The
popularity of this method rests on the fact that considerable data reduction is achieved while …

A thinning algorithm is proposed for gray-scale images, which applies a combination of
sequential and parallel conditions for pixel removal. The authors found that the algorithm …

Abstract A One Pass Thinning Algorithm (OPTA) and a Pseudo One Pass Thinning
Algorithm (POPTA) are proposed in this paper. The one pass thinning algorithm uses the …
