This article introduces an order independent homotopic thinning for binary pictures. This thinning has the following properties: it does not use homotopic structuring elements, it is independent of the order in which pixels are processed, it is invariant through π/2 rotations, and it takes into account global characteristics of the image through Ronse's criterion of strong 8-deletability. An algorithm implementing this new thinning is presented and applied to the skeletonisation of binary patterns.
