Three-dimensional curve skeletons are a very compact representation of three-dimensional
objects with many uses and applications in fields such as computer graphics, computer …

A large number of skeletonization algorithms for binary images use the method of thinning:
successive layers of pixels are deleted from the figure until it becomes one pixel thick. In this …

Thinning is an iterative object reduction technique for extracting medial curves from binary
objects. During a thinning process, some border points that satisfy certain topological and …

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for extracting skeleton-like shape features (ie,
centerline, medial surface, and topological kernel) from volumetric binary images. Subfield …

A fully parallel iterative thinning algorithm called MB2 is presented. It favourably competes
with the best known algorithms regarding homotopy, mediality, thickness, rotation invariance …

Binary images thinning has wide applications in image processing, machine vision, and
pattern recognition systems. A new method of shape-adaptive thinning algorithm and its …

Skeletons are widely used shape descriptors which summarize the general form of binary
objects. A technique to obtain skeletons is the thinning, that is an iterative layer-by-layer …

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for extracting centerlines from 2D binary objects.
Parallel thinning algorithms can remove a set of object points simultaneously, while …

A new parallel thinning algorithm with two subcycles is proposed and compared with other
parallel thinning algorithms in terms of 8-connectedness degree, erosion, stability under …

In this work we develop two algorithms to compute the skeleton of a binary 2D images. Both
algorithms follow a geometric approach and work directly with the boundary of the image …
