Thin nets are the lines where the grey level function is locally extremum in a given direction. Recently, we have shown that it is possible to characterize the thin nets using diierential properties of the image surface. However, the method failed when these structures present diierent widths. In this paper we show that, the extraction process of the thin nets, having diierent width, requires a...
