Abstract
Hilditch thinning algorithm is widely used in image pre-processing process. In this paper, we propose an improved Hilditch algorithm to acquire a more stable output. We conclude that the skeletons obtained from our algorithms give better results in Chinese characters and numbers. The advantage of this algorithm corrects the beard by modifying the warp in the part of intersection.
