One-pixel width image skeleton generation using mathematical morphology
C.K. Lee, Y.W. Pang · 2005
In this paper, we shall elucidate and illustrate a thinning algorithm to extract a skeleton from binary images which are thresholded from noisy gray images. Theories of mathematical morphology are described which will provide the one-pixel width skeleton. Moreover, a definition of the skeleton is given which is used as a convergence test for this thinning process. Experimental results to demonstrate the success of this process are also included.
