On Nonlocal Mathematical Morphology

چکیده
In this paper, nonlocal mathematical morphology operators are introduced as a natural extension of nonlocal-means in the max-plus algebra. Firstly, we show that nonlocal morphology is a particular case of adaptive morphology. Secondly, we present the necessary properties to have algebraic properties on the associated pair of transformations. Finally, we recommend a sparse version to introduce an efficient algorithm that computes these operators in reasonable computational time.

Mathematical Morphology and Eikonal Equations on Graphs for Nonlocal Image and Data Processing
Mathematical morphology (MM) offers a wide range of operators to address various image processing problems. These operators can be defined in terms of algebraic (discrete) sets or as partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper, we introduce a novel formulation of MM formalized as a framework of partial difference equations (PdEs) over weighted graphs of arbitrary topology. Then, we pre...
متن کاملNonlocal Graph Morphology
Mathematical morphology (MM) operators can be defined in terms of algebraic sets or as partial differential equations. In this paper, we introduce a novel formulation of MM over weighted graphs of arbitrary topology. The proposed framework recovers local algebraic and PDEs-based formulations of MM and introduces nonlocal configurations. This enables to PDEs-based methods to process any discrete...
متن کاملSpherical Solutions to a Nonlocal Free Boundary Problem from Diblock Copolymer Morphology
The Γ-limit of the Ohta-Kawasaki density functional theory of diblock copolymers is a nonlocal free boundary problem. For some values of block composition and the nonlocal interaction, an equilibrium pattern of many spheres exists in a three dimensional domain. A sub-range of the parameters is found where the multiple sphere pattern is stable. This stable pattern models the spherical phase in t...
متن کاملNonlocal electrodynamic modeling of frequency shifts for molecules at rough surfaces
The problem of frequency shifts for admolecules at distances very close to a metallic substrate surface protrusion is considered. The molecule is modeled as an oscillating point dipole and the morphology of the substrate is represented by a spherical island. Nonlocal electrodynamic effects are taken into account within the hydrodynamic description of the surface electrons. The results show that...
متن کاملUnifying Local and Nonlocal Processing with Partial Difference Operators on Weighted Graphs
In this paper, local and nonlocal image processing are unified, within the same framework, by defining discrete derivatives on weighted graphs. These discrete derivatives allow to transcribe continuous partial differential equations and energy functionals to partial difference equations and discrete functionals over weighted graphs. With this methodology, we consider two gradient-based problems...
