چکیده

This article presents the use of anisotropic dynamic structuring elements, or amoebas, in order to build content-aware noise reduction filters. The amoeba is the ball defined by a special geodesic distance computed for each pixel, and can be used as a kernel for many kinds of filters and morphological operators.

Amoeba Techniques for Shape and Texture Analysis

Morphological amoebas are image-adaptive structuring elements for morphological and other local image filters introduced by Lerallut et al. Their construction is based on combining spatial distance with contrast information into an image-dependent metric. Amoeba filters show interesting parallels to image filtering methods based on partial differential equations (PDEs), which can be confirmed b...

ISMM05 Special Issue: Image ltering using morphological amoebas

This paper presents morphological operators with nonxed shape kernels, or amoebas, which take into account the image contour variations to adapt their shape. Experiments on grayscale and color images demonstrate that these novel lters outperform classical morphological operations with a xed, space-invariant structuring element for noise reduction applications. Tests on synthetic 3D images are t...

Amoeba Active Contours

We introduce an algorithm for active contour segmentation in which the level set function encoding the contour is processed by median filtering using morphological amoebas. These are adaptive structure elements introduced by Lerallut et al. which can be combined with different morphological operations. Recently it has been proven that iterated amoeba median filtering of an image approximates th...

Edge detection based on morphological amoebas

Detecting the edges of objects within images is critical for quality image processing. We present an edge-detecting technique that uses morphological amoebas that adjust their shape based on variation in image contours. We evaluate the method both quantitatively and qualitatively for edge detection of images, and compare it to classic morphological methods. Our amoeba-based edge-detection syste...

Differential Equations for Morphological Amoebas

This paper is concerned with amoeba median filtering, a structure-adaptive morphological image filter. It has been introduced by Lerallut et al. in a discrete formulation. Experimental evidence shows that iterated amoeba median filtering leads to segmentation-like results that are similar to those obtained by self-snakes, an image filter based on a partial differential equation. We investigate ...
