Simple function to remove spurious branches out of a skeleton. Also allow to precise which branches to keep by entering linear indices of their endpoints (use sub2ind function to find linear indices).
Example : cleanskel = cleanSkel(bwmorph(imread('circles.png'),'skel',Inf),[]);
imshow([imread('circles.png'),bwmorph(imread('circles.png'),'skel',Inf),cleanskel])
