# --------- Skeletonization by morphological thinning ---------
def skeletonize(image):
"""Return the skeleton of a binary image.
Thinning is used to reduce each connected component in a binary image
to a single-pixel wide skeleton.
Parameters
----------
image : numpy.ndarray
A binary image containing the objects to be skeletonized. '1'
represents foreground, and '0' represents background. It
also accepts arrays of boolean values where True is foreground.
Returns
-------
skeleton : ndarray
A matrix containing the thinned image.

medial_axis
Notes
-----
The algorithm [1]_ works by making successive passes of the image,
removing pixels on object borders. This continues until no
more pixels can be removed. The image is correlated with a
mask that assigns each pixel a number in the range [0...255]
corresponding to each possible pattern of its 8 neighbouring
pixels. A look up table is then used to assign the pixels a
value of 0, 1, 2 or 3, which are selectively removed during
the iterations.
Note that this algorithm will give different results than a
medial axis transform, which is also often referred to as
"skeletonization".

Compute the medial axis transform of a binary image
Parameters
----------
image : binary ndarray, shape (M, N)
The image of the shape to be skeletonized.
mask : binary ndarray, shape (M, N), optional
If a mask is given, only those elements in `image` with a true
value in `mask` are used for computing the medial axis.
return_distance : bool, optional
If true, the distance transform is returned as well as the skeleton.
Returns
-------
out : ndarray of bools
Medial axis transform of the image
dist : ndarray of ints, optional
Distance transform of the image (only returned if `return_distance`
is True)

--------
skeletonize
Notes
-----
This algorithm computes the medial axis transform of an image
as the ridges of its distance transform.
The different steps of the algorithm are as follows
* A lookup table is used, that assigns 0 or 1 to each configuration of
the 3x3 binary square, whether the central pixel should be removed
or kept. We want a point to be removed if it has more than one neighbor
and if removing it does not change the number of connected components.
* The distance transform to the background is computed, as well as
the cornerness of the pixel.
* The foreground (value of 1) points are ordered by
the distance transform, then the cornerness.
* A cython function is called to reduce the image to its skeleton. It
processes pixels in the order determined at the previous step, and
removes or maintains a pixel according to the lookup table. Because
of the ordering, it is possible to process all pixels in only one
pass.
