Topology preserving parallel thinning algorithms

چکیده
Thinning is an iterative object reduction technique for extracting medial curves from binary objects. During a thinning process, some border points that satisfy certain topological and geometric constraints are deleted in iteration steps. Parallel thinning algorithms are composed of parallel reduction operators that delete a set of object points simultaneously. This article presents 21 parallel thinning algorithms for (8,4) binary pictures that are derived from the sufficient conditions for topology preservation accommodated to the three parallel thinning approaches.

Topology Preserving Parallel 3D Thinning Algorithms
A widely used technique to obtain skeletons of binary objects is thinning, which is an iterative layer-by-layer erosion in a topology preserving way. Thinning in 3D is capable of extracting various skeleton-like shape descriptors (i.e., centerlines, medial surfaces, and topological kernels). This chapter describes a family of new parallel 3D thinning algorithms for (26,6) binary pictures. The r...
متن کامل2D Parallel Thinning and Shrinking Based on Sufficient Conditions for Topology Preservation
Thinning and shrinking algorithms, respectively, are capable of extracting medial lines and topological kernels from digital binary objects in a topology preserving way. These topological algorithms are composed of reduction operations: object points that satisfy some topological and geometrical constraints are removed until stability is reached. In this work we present some new sufficient cond...
متن کاملHexagonal parallel thinning algorithms based on sufficient conditions for topology preservation
Thinning is a well-known technique for producing skeleton-like shape features from digital binary objects in a topology preserving way. Most of the existing thinning algorithms presuppose that the input images are sampled on orthogonal grids. This paper presents new sufficient conditions for topology preserving reductions working on hexagonal grids (or triangular lattices) and eight new 2D hexa...
متن کاملFully Parallel 3D Thinning Algorithms Based on Sufficient Conditions for Topology Preservation
This paper presents a family of parallel thinning algorithms for extracting medial surfaces from 3D binary pictures. The proposed algorithms are based on sufficient conditions for 3D parallel reduction operators to preserve topology for (26, 6) pictures. Hence it is self-evident that our algorithms are topology preserving. Their efficient implementation on conventional sequential computers is a...
متن کاملA Family of Topology-Preserving 3D Parallel 6-Subiteration Thinning Algorithms
Thinning is an iterative layer-by-layer erosion until only the skeleton-like shape features of the objects are left. This paper presents a family of new 3D parallel thinning algorithms that are based on our new sufficient conditions for 3D parallel reduction operators to preserve topology. The strategy which is used is called subiteration-based: each iteration step is composed of six parallel r...
