Description
Mathematical morphology (MM) is a theory for the analysis of spatial structures. It is called morphology since it aims at analyzing the shape and form of objects, and it is mathematical in the sense that the analysis is based on set theory, topology, lattice algebra, random functions, and so on. MM is not only a “theory”, but also a powerful image analysis “technique”. The purpose of the present book is to provide the image analysis community with a snapshot of current theoretical and applied developments of MM. The book consists of 45 contributions classified by subject. It demonstrates a range of topics suited to the morphological approach.
