The Euclidean plane can be partitioned into three kinds of
regular polygons, which results in triangular, square and hexagonal grids.
While the topology of the square grid is well-established, less emphasis
is put on the remaining two regular sampling schemes. In this paper we
summarize the results of our research that aimed to give some general
characterizations of simple pixels and sufficient conditions for topology-
preserving operators in the mentioned grids.

Thinning is a frequently applied technique for extracting centerlines from 2D binary objects. Parallel thinning algorithms can remove a set of object points simultaneously, while sequential algorithms traverse the boundary of objects, and consider the actually visited single point for possible removal. Two thinning algorithms are called equivalent if they produce the same result for each input picture. This paper presents the very first pair of equivalent 2D sequential and parallel subiteration-based thinning algorithms. These algorithms can be implemented directly on a conventional sequential computer or on a parallel computing device. Both of them preserve topology for (8, 4) pictures sampled on the square grid.

A vékonyítás mint iteratív objektum redukció gyakran alkalmazott
vázkijelölo módszer. A legtöbb létezo vékonyító algoritmus végpontok - vagyis releváns geometriai információt hordozó objektumpontok - megorzésével biztosítja azt, hogy ne törlodjenek az objektumok alakját reprezentáló fontos részletek. Ennek a megközelítésnek hátránya, hogy számos nemkívánatos vázágat eredményezhet. Ebben a cikkben egy olyan módszert mutatunk be, amellyel jelentosen csökkentheto a hamis vázágak száma. Ráadásul az itt bemutatott megközelítés tetszoleges végpont-megorzo 2D vékonyító algoritmusban alkalmazható.

An important requirement for various applications of binary image processing is to preserve topology. This issue has been earlier studied for two special types of image operators, namely, reductions and additions, and there have been some sufficient conditions proposed for them. In this paper, as an extension of those earlier results, we give novel sufficient criteria for general operators working on 2D pictures.

One of the fundamental issues of human and computational cognitive psychology is pattern or shape recognition. Various applications in image processing and computer vision rely on skeleton-like shape features A possible technique for extracting these feautures is thinning. Although the majority of 2D thinning algorithms work on digital pictures sampled onthe conventional square grid, the role of some non-conventional grids, like the hexagonal and triangular grid, are of increasing importance as well. In this paper we propose numerous topolgy preserving parallel thinning algorithms that work on the triangular grid.

Topology preservation is a crucial issue of digital topology. Various applications of binary image processing rest on topology preserving operators. Earlier studies in this topic mainly concerned with reductions (i.e., operators that only delete some object points from binary images), as they form the basis for thinning algorithms. However, additions (i.e., operators that never change object points) also play important role for the purpose of generating discrete Voronoi diagrams or skeletons by influence zones (SKIZ). Furthermore, the use of general operators that may both add and delete some points to and from objects in pictures are suitable for contour smoothing. Therefore, in this paper we present some new sufficient conditions for topology preserving reductions, additions, and general operators. Two additions for 2D and 3D contour smoothing are also reported.

There are three possible partitionings of the continuous plane into regular polygons that leads to triangular, square, and hexagonal grids. The topology of the square grid is fairly well-understood, but it cannot be said of the remaining two regular sampling schemes. This paper presents a general characterization of simple pixels and some simplified sufficient conditions for topology-preserving operators in all the three types of regular grids.

Thinning is a well-known technique for producing skeleton-like shape features from digital binary objects in a topology-preserving way. Most of the existing thinning algorithms work on input images that are sampled on orthogonal grids; however, it is also possible to perform thinning on hexagonal grids (or triangular lattices). In this paper, we point out to the main similarities and differences between the topological properties of these two types of sampling schemes. We give various characterizations of simple points and present some new sufficient conditions for topology-preserving reductions working on hexagonal grids.

Thinning as a layer-by-layer reduction is a frequently used technique for skeletonization. Sequential thinning algorithms usually suffer from the drawback of being order-dependent, i.e., their results depend on the visiting order of object points. Earlier order-independent sequential methods are based on the conventional thinning schemes that preserve endpoints to provide relevant geometric information of objects. These algorithms can generate centerlines in 2D and medial surfaces in 3D. This paper presents an alternative strategy for order-independent thinning which follows an approach, proposed by Bertrand and Couprie, which accumulates so-called isthmus points. The main advantage of this order-independent strategy over the earlier ones is that it makes also possible to produce centerlines of 3D objects.

The visual world composed by the human and computational cognitive systems strongly relies on shapes of objects. Skeleton is a widely applied shape feature that plays an important role in many fields of image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision. Thinning is a frequently used, iterative object reduction strategy for skeletonization. Sequential thinning algorithms, which are based on contour tracking, delete just one border point at a time. Most of them have the disadvantage of order-dependence, i.e., for dissimilar visiting orders of object points, they may generate different skeletons. In this work, we give a survey of our results on order-independent thinning: we introduce some sequential algorithms that produce identical skeletons for any visiting orders, and we also present some sufficient conditions for the order-independence of templatebased sequential algorithms.

Solutions to this problem have been already given for the case of orthogonal and hexagonal grids.

A widely used technique to obtain skeletons of binary objects is thinning, which is an iterative layer-by-layer erosion in a topology preserving way. Thinning in 3D is capable of extracting various skeleton-like shape descriptors (i.e., centerlines, medial surfaces, and topological kernels). This chapter describes a family of new parallel 3D thinning algorithms for (26, 6) binary pictures. The reported algorithms are derived from some sufficient conditions for topology preserving parallel reduction operations, hence their topological correctness is guaranteed.

Thinning and shrinking algorithms, respectively, are capable of extracting medial lines and topological kernels from digital binary objects in a topology preserving way. These topological algorithms are composed of reduction operations: object points that satisfy some topological and geometrical constraints are removed until stability is reached. In this work we present some new sufficient conditions for topology preserving parallel reductions and fiftyfour new 2D parallel thinning and shrinking algorithms that are based on our conditions. The proposed thinning algorithms use five characterizations of endpoints.

Thinning is an iterative layer-by-layer erosion until only the skeleton-like shape features of the objects are left. This paper presents a family of new 3D parallel thinning algorithms that are based on our new sufficient conditions for 3D parallel reduction operators to preserve topology. The strategy which is used is called subiteration-based: each iteration step is composed of six parallel reduction operators according to the six main directions in 3D. The major contributions of this paper are: 1) Some new sufficient conditions for topology preserving parallel reductions are introduced. 2) A new 6-subiteration thinning scheme is proposed. Its topological correctness is guaranteed, since its deletion rules are derived from our sufficient conditions for topology preservation. 3) The proposed thinning scheme with different characterizations of endpoints yields various new algorithms for extracting centerlines and medial surfaces from 3D binary pictures. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Skeletons are region based shape descriptors that play important role in shape representation. This paper introduces a novel sequential thinning approach for n-dimensional binary objects (n =1,2,3, ...). Its main strength lies in its order--independency, i.e., it can produce the same skeletons for any visiting orders of border points. Furthermore, this is the first scheme in this field that is also applicable for higher dimensions.

This paper presents a new family of 3D thinning algorithms for extracting skeleton-like shape features (i.e, centerline, medial surface, and topological kernel) from volumetric images. A 2-subfield strategy is applied: all points in a 3D picture are partitioned into two subsets which are alternatively activated. At each iteration, a parallel operator is applied for deleting some border points in the active subfield. The proposed algorithms are derived from Ma's sufficient conditions for topology preservation, and they use various endpoint characterizations.
