This paper presents a novel approach of skeletonization for gray-scale images directly from original image based on anisotropic Gaussian filter. To deal with the non-uniform width of natural object parts, we adapt the shape of filter kernel to local gradient feature. The orientation of filter is firstly estimated based on local structure tensor, and then the scale is calculated based on gradient vector flux. After that, the anisotropic Gaussian filter is performed on the image. The skeleton strength map is defined by the gradient vector flux measure. Finally, thin and binary skeleton is obtained by non- maximum suppression the skeleton strength map. Our method performs well on both binary and gray image in skeleton extraction even for clutter image. Copyright 2014 ACM
