Abstract :
In this paper, the algorithm for thinning of grey-scale images is proposed that is based on a pseudo-distance map (PDM). The PDM is a simplified distance map of gray-scale image and uses only that features of image and objects that are necessary to build a skeleton. The algorithm works fast for large gray-scale images and allows constructing a high quality skeleton
