A SIMPLE AND ROBUST THINNING ALGORITHM
C. L. LEE, Peng Wang · International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence · 1999
In this paper a new thinning algorithm is presented. It is simple yet robust, and can maintain the same advantages of other key skeletonization algorithms. In this new algorithm, only a very small set of rules of criteria for deleting pixels is used. It is faster and easier to implement. Its advantages and limitations are discussed and compared with others. Several examples are illustrated.
