Abstract:
This research presents a new skeletonization method based on Constrained Delaunay Triangulation
(COT) that evaluated proper triangles on the shape. The main idea is to decompose the input shape
image into simple shapes. The first order of CSP profile fotlD CDT step was used for shape
decomposition. The order of decomposition based on shape perimeter, the shortest partition is
separated firstly, After that, the final skeleton is obtained from connecting each shape into skeleton
respectively by the order of decomposition. This technique is very efficient and it gives a smooth
skeleton with reasonable connection at junctions. Unlike other methods, experiments showed that
the results were robust against CDT point sampling. This method is suitable for skeletonization of
various types of image in general. The obtained Skeleton constructed correctly original image in
Skeleton Reconstruction procedure.
