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.

The problem of reconstructing some special hv-convex discretesets from their two orthogonal projections is considered. In general, the problem is known to be NP-hard, but it is solvable in polynomial time if the discrete set to be reconstructed is also 8-connected. In this paper, we define an intermediate class - the class of hv-convex canonical discrete sets - and give a constructive proof that the above problem remains computationally tractable for this class, too. We also discuss some further theoretical consequences and present experimental results as well. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009.
