The refinement algorithm is usually the same as the skeleton and skeleton algorithms, that is, the thin algorithm or the Skeleton Algorithm. Although this is not the case in many image processing textbooks, you can refer to this article for specific reasons: Louisa Lam, Seong-whan Lee, Ching y. suen, "thinning methodologies-a comprehensive survey", IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and machine intelligence, vol. 14, No. 9. September 1992, which summarizes almost all the classic refinement algorithms earlier than 92 years ago.
Function: void cvthin (iplimage * SRC, iplimage * DST, int iterations = 1)
Function: refine the ipl_depth_8u binary image.
Parameter: SRC, original ipl_depth_8u Binary Image
DST, the destination storage space, which must be allocated in advance and consistent with the original image size type
Iterations, number of iterations
