Morphological skeleton

In digital image processing, morphological skeleton is a skeleton (or medial axis) representation of a shape or binary image, computed by means of morphological operators.

Morphological skeletons are of two kinds:

Those defined by means of morphological openings, from which the original shape can be reconstructed,
Those computed by means of the hit-or-miss transform, which preserve the shape's topology.
