Solutions 03 — Skeletons of Shapes

Solution 01 — Create a Silhouette

1. Create a Silhouette + Document the process (1 image, 3 sentences)
2. Turn the silouette into a 400x400 PNG
3. Create a Processing sketch to display the image

Solution 02 — Image Thinning

1. Pick one of those approaches
2. Implement it in Processing
3. Visualize the Process of Thinning

Solution 03 — Skeletonization

1. Write a function that identifies critical pixels (i.e. Pixels which cannot be deleted without changing the topology)
2. Use the function to turn your thinning algorithm into a skeletonization algorithm

Answer the following questions:

• What makes a "good" skeleton
• Does your algorithm create a good skeleton. Why?

Solution 04 — Growing Muscles

Can you reconstruct the original shape from a skeleton?
