ABSTRACT:
Characters are skeletonized to form skeleton characters consisting of single series of character positions. A skeletonizing cycle consists of one mark scanning operation, followed by two peeling scanning operations. The criteria for marking and peeling can be better adapted to each other in this manner. Skeletonizing, thus, is rendered substantially independent of the sequence in which the character positions are treated, so that notably the symmetry of the character elements remains the same. Moreover, the occurrence of random tails can be avoided to a substantial degree.
