skeleton — 2D region op

• Data kinds: region → region

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "skeleton", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

• HALCON equivalent: skeleton (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Thins a region to a 1-pixel-wide skeleton while preserving topology (`skimage.morphology.skeletonize). Branch points and endpoints are preserved in position, so it is often used to analyze branching shapes (such as counting the number of fingers). Equivalent to HALCON's skeleton` (Compute the skeleton of a region.).

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

• The canonical algorithm (author, year) and its uses are named in the family usage guide above.
