Abstract
The aim of this research work is to implement Zhang-Suen thinning algorithm on openCV based java platform. The novelty lies in the comparative study of the obtained results using the proposed implementation with the existing implementations of Zhang-Suen thinning algorithm viz. using Matlab, C++ and compare the performance factor viz computation time with others. The experimental results achieved by openCV based java platform are faster when compared to Matlab and C++.
