USAGE: thinw inimg outimg [-k MASK_SIZE] [-d] [-L]

thinw performs iterative thinning of binary objects in input
image to produce skeleton image with values OFF (0) ON (255);
skeleton pixel values are widths of the original image lines.

ARGUMENTS:
    inimg: input image filename (TIF)
   outimg: output image filename (TIF)

OPTIONS:
  -k MASK_SIZE: window size for kxk mask;(k>=3, default = 3
            -d: display results of each iteration
                this only displays for images <= 40x40 to
                fit on screen.
            -L: print Software License for this module
                NOTE: the image output values are the following:
                -- thinned lines -- width value plus offset of 152
                -- off --   0
                -- on -- 255
 
 

Example:

thinw magstrp.tif magstrpTHW.tif
