machinevisiontoolbox.Image.thin_animate

Image.thin_animate(delay=0.5, **kwargs)

Morphological skeletonization with animation

Parameters:

  • delay (float, optional) – time in seconds between each iteration of display, default to 0.5

  • kwargs – options passed to hitormiss

Returns:

Image

Return type:

Image instance

Return the thinned version (skeleton) of the binary image as another binary image. Any non-zero region is replaced by a network of single-pixel wide lines.

The algorithm is iterative, and the result of of each iteration is displayed using Matplotlib.

Example:

>>> from machinevisiontoolbox import Image
>>> img = Image.Read("shark2.png")
>>> img.thin_animate()
Image: 500 x 500 (uint8)
