Abstract

This paper addresses an order-independent rule-based parallel thinning algorithm. In this algorithm, thinning rules are formulated based on the weight-values of the input image. The weight-value of a non-zero pixel is evaluated by analyzing neighboring pixels. This weight-value is used to separate the conditions into rules. This process of transforming conditions into rules makes the thinning process faster and efficient. The experimental results are compared to the other parallel thinning algorithms and their relative performance is assessed. The proposed algorithm is shown to be computationally more efficient in terms of thinning and preserving the connectivity
