Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Skeleton can be viewed as a compact shape representation in that the shape can be completely reconstructed form the skeleton. ...
We present a novel method for skeleton pruning that is based on this fundamental skeleton property. We iteratively remove skeleton end braches with smallest relevance for shape reconstruction. ...
The goal of this paper is to introduce a novel method for skeleton pruning, called Discrete Skeleton Evolution (DSE). ...

2009 2nd International Congress on Image and Signal Processing
A new method to obtain high quality skeletons of binary shapes is proposed in this paper. First, a small set of salient contour points is computed by Discrete Curve Evolution (DCE). ...
The skeleton path continues growing in this way until it reaches the other endpoint or another skeleton branch. ...
CONCLUSION In this paper, we generate skeletons from the salient contour points computed by Discrete Curve Evolution. ...

Correcting Curvature-Density Effects in the Hamilton–Jacobi Skeleton
2006
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing
The approach is based on the observation that the normalized flux associated with the inward evolution of the object boundary at nonskeletal points tends to zero as the size of the integration area tends ...
Nonetheless, the error in calculating the flux on the image lattice is both limited by the pixel resolution and also proportional to the curvature of the boundary evolution front and, hence, unbounded ...
Singularities in the simulated evolution of the front indicate the locations of the skeleton. ...
