Connected attribute filters are anti-extensive morphological operators widely used for their ability of simplifying the image without moving its contours. In this paper, we present a fast, versatile and easyto- implement algorithm for grayscale connected attribute thinnings and thickennings, a subclass of connected filters for the wide range of nonincreasing attributes.We show that our algorithm consumes less memory and is computationally more efficient than other available methods on natural images.
