Skeletonization of polygons is a technique, which is often applied to problems of cartography and geographic information science. Especially it is needed for generalization tasks ...
Thinnings are very important operators for image analysis developed by mathematical morphology. Their most popular applications are the discrete homotopic skeletons. They are defi...
Existing skeletonization methods operate directly on the binary image ignoring the gray-level information. In this paper we propose a new method for the skeletonization of handwri...
We present a framework for computing generalized distance transforms and skeletons of two-dimensional objects using graphics hardware. Our method is based on the concept of footpr...
We present a method for extracting a hierarchical, rigid skeleton from a set of example poses. We then use this skeleton to not only reproduce the example poses, but create new de...
