Skeletonizing an image is representing a shape with a small amount of information
by converting the initial image into a more compact representation and keeping
the meaning features. In this paper we use spiking neural P systems to solve this problem.
Based on such devices, a parallel software has been implemented on the GPU architecture.
Some real-world applications and open lines for future research are also presented.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2008-04487-EMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN-2009-13192Junta de Andalucía P08-TIC-0420
