Example of how to thin a binary image. The thinned image (or skeleton) is a common preprocessing step in shape analysis.

Example Code:

Concepts:

  • Binary Processing
  • Shapes
  • Thinning

Example Code

/**
 * Simple example showing you how to thin a binary image.  This is also known as skeletonalization.  Thinning
 * discards most of objects foreground (value one) pixels are leaves behind a "skinny" object which still
 * mostly describes the original objects shape.
