This paper describes two algorithms for skeletonization of 2-D binary images, each of which explicitly separates the two major aspects of skeletonization: 1) the identification of points critical to shape representation and 2) the identification of further points necessary to preserve homotopy. Sets of points critical to shape representation are found by eroding the original image I with a nested sequence of structuring elements Ei, where Eo={O} and Ei ⊂ Ei+1, corresponding to a generalized distance transform.
