Abstract

Interval coding of binary images provides a representation in which operations such as AND, OR, XOR, dilation and erosion can be efficiently implemented on a serial computer. Using these procedures, various alternative schemes for implementing Hilditch's skeletonisation method efficiently are investigated.
