What algorithm does Matlab rely on to thinning the image?

Hello

What algorithm does Matlab rely on to thinning the image using thin morphological operation?

The source has been mentioned but no algorithm has been specified.

Thank you.

Answer 1

[Steven Lord]

Does the Algorithms section on the documentation page for the bwmorph function provide enough information?

It may be good, but there are some mystery.

Also, the third condition is not written

thank you

Of course. The source is

[3] Lam, L., Seong-Whan Lee, and Ching Y. Suen, "Thinning Methodologies-A Comprehensive Survey," IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, Vol 14, No. 9, September 1992, page 879, bottom of first column through top of second column.

What do you expect them to do? Include the entire paper in the MATLAB documentation for bwmorph()? That's NOT going to happen. You're just going to have to order the paper if you want more details.

thank you sir

I understand this, but the source contains several algorithms for thinning.

How to know which algorithm was used?

[Image Analyst]

Call them and ask them. Or send them an email.
