Thinning is a widely used approach for skeletonization. Sequential thinning algorithms use contour tracking: they scan border points and remove the actual one if it is not designated a skeletal point. They may produce various skeletons for different visiting orders. In this paper, we present a new 2-dimensional sequential thinning algorithm, which produces the same result for arbitrary visiting orders and it is capable of extracting maximally thinned skeletons. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.
