Abstract

A new concept in the area of morphology is introduced. It is a generalization of the thinning and skeletonization concepts. It can be used in most applications where skeletons or Voronoi sets are utilized, having specific advantages over the traditional results due to its rigorous mathematical definition. A set of rules for the construction of the innovative form of skeleton are presented, based on a mathematical description of the construction process. Certain examples are given, with an eye to specific applications, such as robotic navigation or OCR, among others.
