Abstract

This paper is a continuation to the work in [1], in which a new algorithm for skeletonization is introduced. The algorithm given there and implemented for script and text is applied here on images like pictures, medical organs and signatures. This is very important for a lot of applications in pattern recognition, like, for example, data compression, transmission or saving. Some interesting results have been obtained and presented in this article. Comparing our results with others we can conclude that if it comes to thinning of scripts, words or sentences our method is as good as some of the latest approaches, when considering cursive script. However, when it comes to pictures, signatures or other more complicated images, our algorithm showed better and more precise results [6].
