Abstract: Based on the medial axis transform of the upright maximal squares, a new robust binary image skeletonization was proposed in this paper. By computing the numbers of the maximal neighboring pixels in an object, the transform image was obtained, and then skeleton was extracted. If the threshold was initialized, this method could extract the skeleton from the noisy image. Experimental results show that this method can excellently extract the skeletons. Moreover, compared with the traditional medial axis transform (MAT) method and morphology method to skeletonization, this method is robust to background noise.
