Skeletonisation is an effective way to provide an intact representation of an object’s shape. This approach has great
applications in the fields of motion planning, object representation, tracking, information retrieval, topology representation,
sensor distribution and location, facility location, forestry application, building constructions etc. Skeletons naturally
provide a pixel to boundary mapping through which the path between points can be found in a terrain map. Many
approaches for determining the skeleton of a terrain exist. In this paper, the different methods for Skeletonisation are
discussed. Initially the various categorizations of Skeletonisation is discussed which is further followed by application of
those algorithms for path determining. Quantitative measures for validating the skeleton are also discussed. Finally, the
applications of Skeletonisation in various domains are elaborated |
