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...
A PCNNs-based square-and-triangle-template method for binary fingerprint image thinning is proposed. The algorithm is iterative, in which a combined sequential and parallel proces...
Thinning operation is a fundamental operation in image processing. It is a typical preprocessing stage for pattern recognition and data compression. In this report we proposed an ...
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...
Critical kernels constitute a general framework settled in the of abstract complexes for the study of parallel thinning in any dimension. We take advantage of the properties of thi...
