A New 3D 6-subiteration thinning algorithm based on P-simple points

Abstract

In a recent study [1], we proposed a new methodology to build thinning algorithms based on the deletion of P-simple points. This methodology may permit to conceive a thinning algorithm A from an existent thinning algorithm A, such that A deletes at least all the points removed by A, while preserving the same end points. In this paper, by applying this methodology, we propose a new 6-subiteration thinning algorithm which deletes at least all the points removed by the 6-subiteration thinning algorithm proposed by Palágyi and Kuba [2].
