Abstract

In this paper several algorithms for skeletonizing a three-dimensional (3-D) pictorial data are proposed with experimental results to provide ideas on what kinds of operations are required and what the computation time amounts to for processing 3-D images. Algorithms discussed here include shrinking, thinning, distance transformation and border following.
