Abstract The paper describes a systematic synthesizing method to realize the parallel binary image‐thinning algorithm by a discrete‐time cellular neural network. In contrast with previous studies, this paper starts from very basic local rules (algorithm) and the required cloning templates are calculated step‐by‐step. Mathematical techniques of combiningcompatibletemplates are proposed and optimization of the total number of cloning templates, the operating speed and sensitivity is addressed. Finally, the speed and circuit performances are compared with other studies.
