Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study on the use of morphological set operations to represent and encode a discrete binary image by parts of its skeleton, a thinned version of the image containing complete information about its shape and size. Using morphological erosions and openings, a finite image can be uniquely decomposed into a finite number of skeletoKeywords
