Hello everyone !
I am doing my summer internship in the reserch department of the medical field and I have some troubles with my project. I work with image processing and I need to find the "Ideal" skeleton of a human from a binary image (as a 5 years old can draw it). I already used the bwmorph() function but as you may know the result looks like a subway map, and I only need the "principal lines" of the body (legs, arms, torso and head) without the littles excrescenses.
I found some topics on the internet about this but it doesn't work very well...
If anyone can help I'll be grateful !
Thank you in advance ! (and sorry for my bad English)

You can look up papers on it here: http://www.visionbib.com/bibliography/contents.html. Use the search function to look for words like stick figure, gait, gesture, etc.
You might want to take a look at Cleve's blog on the eigenwalker : http://blogs.mathworks.com/cleve/2016/04/11/the-eigenwalker-model-of-the-human-gait/?s_tid=srchtitle
