Pruning undesired branches after skeletonization

[akeera]

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if there is a way to remove all the small branches after skeletonization in LabVIEW. I would like to obtain only the single major branch, which is the midline of a fish image in a dorsal view. 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Akira,

Can you please attach an image of what you are doing?  I'm afraid I don't at all understand what you mean by "skeletonization", and I don't see how an image of a fish is relevant to removing branches in LabVIEW.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I attached raw/skeletonized fish images from a frame in a recorded movie. I am using Vision package that contains a function for Skeletonization but apparently there is no function for Pruning. I would like a robust way of pruning that works on all the frames in a movie. 

Thanks,

Akira

Hi,

Did you come up with a way of doing this efficiently?  I'm a little stumped, and am trying to do the same thing.
