Abstract

A skeletonization algorithm based on the Euclidean distance function using the sequential maxima-tracking method is described which, when applied to a connected image, generates a connected skeleton composed of simple digital arcs. With a slight modification, the algorithm can preserve the more important features in the skeletal branches which touch the object boundary at corners. Therefore its application to shape recognition can be easily achieved.
