NAME

     Find_thinness - determines the thinness ratio of  a  labeled
     binary object

SYNOPSIS

      #include <CVIPimage.h>
      #include <CVIPmatrix.h>
      #include <CVIPfeatures.h>
      #include <CVIPdef.h>

     float Find_thinness(Image *inputImage, int gray_level)

      <inputImage> - a pointer to an Image structure
      <gray_level> - the gray value of the labeled object

PATH

      $CVIPHOME/FEATURE/thiness.c

DESCRIPTION

     Thinness is a measure of the roundness of  an  object.  Once
     the perimeter(P) and the area(A) of an object are known, the
     thinness(T) is found:
                           T = 4*pi(A/P^2)
     A circle has a thinness ratio of 1.

     This function requires a labeled binary object.
