Morphological Thinning using the Hit and Miss Algorithm

One of the most basic methods used for thinning a morphological image

You are now following this Submission

Morphological thinning is one of the most important operations in image processing. Matlab already provides an extremely efficient thinning function through the Image Processing Toolbox. This method using the Hit and Miss algorithm is a lot slower than the Matlab method, however, is highly useful in understanding how thinning works...
