ExtractSkeleton

Link to code

Wraps the executable command ``ExtractSkeleton ``.

title: Extract Skeleton

category: Filtering

description: Extract the skeleton of a binary object. The skeleton can be limited to being a 1D curve or allowed to be a full 2D manifold. The branches of the skeleton can be pruned so that only the maximal center skeleton is returned.
