چکیده

Although polar colour spaces are being increasingly used in the context of colour mathematical morphology, mainly due to their intuitiveness, the processing of the circular hue band continues to be their main drawback. In this paper, we discuss the two principal problems concerning the morphological processing of hue, first its lack of a lattice structure, which we propose to introduce by means of a distance based formulation from multiple representative reference hue points. And second, the distinction of chromatic from achromatic pixels, since the hue component is of no significance for ‘‘low” saturation levels. For this purpose, we present a new weighting scheme, based on the combination of saturation and luminance channels. Application results on texture classification, asserting the superior performance of this approach, are also included. 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The Combinational Use Of Knowledge-Based Methods and Morphological Image Processing in Color Image Face Detection

The human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. In this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.The proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. Inaddition, to do face...

Morphological operators on the unit circle

Images encoding angular information are common in image analysis. Examples include the hue band of color images, or images encoding directional texture information. Applying mathematical morphology to image data distributed on the unit circle is not immediately possible, as the unit circle is not a lattice. Three approaches to solving this problem are presented. First, difference-based operator...

Measuring of Udder Morphological Characteristics among Crossbred and Pure Sheep Breeds

Image processing technique was used to compare udder morphological characteristics in two Iranian crossbred sheep populations including Ghezel-Arkhamerino, Moghani-Arkharmerino and a pure one that was Ghezel ewes. In addition, the resulted measurements were applied as independent variables for estimation of daily milk yield by regression models. Udder height of Ghezel was higher than Ghezel-Ark...

Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Processing of Fundus Images and Morphological Techniques

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is the damaging effect of diabetes on retinal blood vessels that can cause blindness when diagnosed late. Microaneurysms are early signs of the disease that their early diagnosis promotes timely treatment and prevents disease progression. Since this disease is asymptomatic and can only be detected by ophthalmologists, diabetic patients should be tested regular...
