Title :
A one pass parallel hexagonal thinning algorithm
Author_Institution :
Warwick Univ., Coventry, UK
Abstract :
The development of a fully parallel hexagonal thinning algorithm is reported and compared with a similar algorithm for use with rectangularly sampled images. Both algorithms produced good skeletons, but the hexagonal could be implemented with only 50% of the logical operations required by the rectangular
