Task
Zhang-Suen thinning algorithm
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

This is an algorithm used to thin a black and white i.e. one bit per pixel images.

For example, with an input image of:

It produces the thinned output:

Algorithm

Assume black pixels are one and white pixels zero, and that the input image is a rectangular N by M array of ones and zeroes.

The algorithm operates on all black pixels P1 that can have eight neighbours. The neighbours are, in order, arranged as:

P9P2P3
P8P1P4
P7P6P5

Obviously the boundary pixels of the image cannot have the full eight neighbours.

  • Define = the number of transitions from white to black, (0 -> 1) in the sequence P2,P3,P4,P5,P6,P7,P8,P9,P2. (Note the extra P2 at the end - it is circular).
  • Define = The number of black pixel neighbours of P1. ( = sum(P2 .. P9) )
Step 1

All pixels are tested and pixels satisfying all the following conditions are just noted at this stage.

  • (0) The pixel is black and has eight neighbours
  • (1)
  • (2) A(P1) = 1
  • (3) At least one of P2 and P4 and P6 is white
  • (4) At least one of P4 and P6 and P8 is white

After iterating over the image and collecting all the pixels satisfying all step 1 conditions, all these condition satisfying pixels are set to white.

Step 2

All pixels are again tested and pixels satisfying all the following conditions are just noted at this stage.

  • (0) The pixel is black and has eight neighbours
  • (1)
  • (2) A(P1) = 1
  • (3) At least one of P2 and P4 and P8 is white
  • (4) At least one of P2 and P6 and P8 is white

After iterating over the image and collecting all the pixels satisfying all step 2 conditions, all these condition satisfying pixels are again set to white.

Iteration

If any pixels were set in this round of either step 1 or step 2 then all steps are repeated until no image pixels are so changed.

Task
  1. Write a routine to perform Zhang-Suen thinning on an image matrix of ones and zeroes.
  2. Use the routine to thin the following image and show the output here on this page as either a matrix of ones and zeroes, an image, or an ASCII-art image of space/non-space characters.

Perl 6

my @lines = ([.ords X+& 1] for lines); # The low bits Just Work. my \v = +@lines; my \h = +@lines[0]; my @black = @lines.map: *.values; # Flatten to 1-dimensional.

  1. Candidates have 8 neighbors and are known black

my @cand = grep { @black[$_] }, do

Task (2) asks for "or an ASCII-art image of space/non-space characters."
Spaces don't really impress where the borders are, so we'll use a dot.

This example is incomplete. Different image thinned than one asked for in task description. Please ensure that it meets all task requirements and remove this message.

First I define a function zs which given a point and its eight neighbours returns 1 if the point may be culled, 0 otherwise. g indicates if this is step 1 or step 2 in the task description. zs may be changed to remember the step independently if the reader does not wish to explore the algorithm.
