Abstract: Skeletonization proves to be a useful method for description of shape, pattern recognition, retrieving centerline of images, animation. Previously, skeletons were used to find shape of object components, now their use have been extended to many fields such as medicine, military, bio-imagery etc. In this paper we have proposed two thinning algorithms i.e. fast parallel thinning and watershed algorithm to find skeleton of depth image captured by TOF camera, which can be used in applications like games, medical field as a model. The fruitfulness of algorithm is proved by experimental results.
Keywords: Skeletonization, ToF camera, Thinning algorithm, dilation.
