`skimage.morphology._skeletonize_various_cy:_fast_skeletonize`

Signature

def _fast_skeletonize ( image )

Summary

Optimized parts of the Zhang-Suen ^[1] skeletonization. Iteratively, pixels meeting removal criteria are removed, till only the skeleton remains (that is, no further removable pixel was found).

Extended Summary

Performs a hard-coded correlation to assign every neighborhood of 8 a unique number, which in turn is used in conjunction with a look up table to select the appropriate thinning criteria.

Parameters

image : numpy.ndarray: A binary image containing the objects to be skeletonized. '1' represents foreground, and '0' represents background.

Returns

skeleton : ndarray: A matrix containing the thinned image.
