"""Use an iterative thinning algorithm to find the skeletons of binary
objects in an image.
"""
import numpy as np
from scipy.ndimage import correlate
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.
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".
