BUILT-IN MATHEMATICA SYMBOL
Thinning
Thinning[image]
finds the skeletons of foreground regions in image by applying morphological thinning until convergence.
Thinning[image, n]
performs n iterations of morphological thinning.
Thinning[image, n, t]
treats values above t as foreground.
- Thinning[image, ...] yields a binary image in which pixels representing the morphological skeleton have value 1 and others have value 0.
- Thinning[image] is equivalent to Thinning[image, Infinity].
- Thinning works with binary, grayscale, and arbitrary multichannel images, as well as real matrices.
- Thinning takes a Padding option that specifies the values to assume for pixels outside the image. The default setting is Padding->0.
- Thinning supports a Method option which specifies what thinning algorithm to be used. Possible settings include:
-
| "Morphological" | morphological thinning (default) |
| "MedialAxis" | approximate medial axis |
Morphological thinning of an image:
| Out[1]= |  |
