Usage: lvkern in.pgm <imcond.pgm|null> connex out.pgm
Description: Grayscale ultimate leveling thinning (refs. [BEC97, CBB01]). The parameter connex gives the connectivity used for the minima; possible choices are 4, 8 in 2D and 6, 26 in 3D. Let F be the function corresponding to the input image in.pgm. Let G be the function corresponding to the input image imcond.pgm, or the null function if the keyword null is used. The algorithm is the following:
Repeat until stability: select p such that T--(p,F) = 1 and such that F(p) is minimal F(p) = max{ delta-(p,F), G(p) } Result: F
