Compression of Khalimsky topological spaces
Aiming at the study of the compression of Khalimsky topological spaces which is an interesting field in digital geometry and computer science, the present paper develops a new homotopy thinning suitable for the work. Since Khalimsky continuity of maps between Khalimsky topological spaces has some limitations of performing a discrete geometric transformation, the paper uses another continuity (see Definition 3.4) that can support the discrete geometric transformation and a homotopic thinning suitable for studying Khalimsky topological spaces. By using this homotopy, we can develop a new homotopic thinning for compressing the spaces and can write an algorithm for compressing 2D Khalimsky topological spaces.
