Skeleton
The Skeleton module extracts the skeleton of an image. The skeleton of an
image is the medial axis or the thinnest representation of the current
image. The skeleton can be used as a basic shape analysis tool.

may need to erode by 2 before creating an image skeleton to help remove any
noise.
