چکیده

AbstractMorphological image processing machines are not capable of handling large-size structuring elements. A new architecture for fast execution of the erosion/dilation operations in an up to 9× 9-pixel, arbitrarily shaped, image window through decomposition of grey-scale morphological structuring element into 3× 3-pixel sub-domains is presented in this paper. The proposed hardware structure has been also implemented in VLSI and its throughput rate is 10 Mbytes/sec.
