A NOVEL EMBEDDED HYBRID THINNING ALGORITHM FOR IMAGE ENHANCEMENT AND ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Stentiford Thinning, zhang-suen thinning, Hybrid ThinningAbstract
Image thinning is a morphological operation used in enhancing the image contrast. Edges of multiple pixel width are thinned to single pixel width .Many algorithms are proposed to thin images. Stentiford thinning algorithm and ZhanTsuen are two of them. This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm combining the above two algorithms. This hybrid approach is found to be more effective than the other two. Its efficiency is tested by comparing the result with those of the other two algorithms.
