Thinning is a frequently used method for extracting skeletons in discrete spaces. This paper presents an efficient parallel Žthinning algorithm that directly extracts medial line...
Thinning of a binary object is an iterative layer by layer erosion to extract an approximation to its skeleton. In order to provide topology preservation, different thinning techn...
Skeleton is a frequently applied shape feature to represent the general form of an object. Thinning is an iterative object reduction technique for producing a reasonable approximat...
In this paper, a technique is presented for CT image analysis and visualization of the bronchial airways. The technique provides a non-invasive way to examine the interior of the ...

We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
