There are tow different kinds of elements in binary images: object pixels and background pixels. Many operations in image processing can be applied only to convert simple; pixels to background pixels. Some of these operations require such conversions must not change the connectivity structures of original images. Thinning is one of these operations. This paper established theoretical results. Such results are implemented into a computer package. The package is useful in designing new 2D thinning algorithms and is helpful in establishing 3D computerized thinning systems.
