Method Detail

• removePixel

  boolean removePixel(long[] position,
                      RandomAccessible<BitType> accessible,
                      int iteration)

  This method should determine whether to keep a foreground pixel or not.

  Parameters:

  position - Long Array containing the current position in the image.

  accessible - The image to thin.

  iteration - The iteration number.

  Returns:

  True if pixel can be switched to background, false otherwise.

• getIterationsPerCycle

  int getIterationsPerCycle()

  Returns the minimum number of iterations necessary for the algorithm to run. This delays termination of the thinning algorithm until the end of the current cycle. If, for example, no changes occur during the second iteration of a 4-iteration-cycle, iterations 3 and 4 still take place.

  Returns:

  The number of iterations per cycle.

• afterCycle

  void afterCycle()

  Called by the ThinningOp after each cycle, and thus exactly getIterationsPerCycle()-times per iteration. Used for performing different calculations in each step of the cycle.

• copy

  ThinningStrategy copy()

  Returns a seperate copy of this strategy.

  Returns:

  A new instance of this strategy with the same values.
