A thinning algorithm for binary images
CG State · Chinese Journal of Stereology and Image Analysis · 1998
A new parallel thinning algorithm for binary imageswas proposed and experimental results were shown in this paper.Being different from the previous template matching algorithm using the predefined small windows,the new algorithm gets the medial axis by analyzing the pixel-connection to thin down the shape of the object.It holds good for the thinning to the images of grain boundary microstructures.
