Abstract
In this report three thinning algorithms are developed: one each for use with rectangular, hexagonal, and triangular arrays. The approach to the development of each algorithm is the same. Pictorial results produced by each of the algorithms are presented and the relative performances of the algorithms are compared. It is found that the algorithm operating with the triangular array is the most sensitive to image irregularities and noise, yet it will yield a thinned image with an overall reduced number of points. It is concluded that the algorithm operating in conjunction with the hexagonal array has features which strike a balance between those of the other two arrays.

Single-crystal hexagonal perovskite YAlO3 epitaxially on GaAs(111)A and (001) using atomic layer deposition
Hexagonal perovskite YAlO3 films were epitaxially grown on both GaAs(001) and GaAs(111)A substrates by utilizing sub-nano-laminated ALD-Y2O3/Al2O3 multilayers with a post-deposition rapid thermal annealing (RTA) to 900C in He ambience. The c-axis of the ...
Thinning algorithms based on quadtree and octree representations
Thinning is a critical pre-processing step to obtain skeletons for pattern analysis. Quadtree and octree are hierarchical data representations in image processing and computer graphics. In this paper, we present new 2-D area-based and 3-D surface-based ...
