Dynamic Scale - Space Paradigmversusmathematical Morphology ?

چکیده

Image formation is described by means of modern geometry in terms of topological and geometric curvatures. These curvatures and derived equivalences are a quantisation of the set of rules for constructing the image in particular along discontinuity, singularity and bifurcation sets. A simpliication of the set of construction rules is proposed by applying a dynamic scale-space theory. Dynamic here refers to a redistribution and recombination of this set and does not correspond to whether the images are static or spatio-temporal. The class of dynamic scale-space theories is constrained by exchange principles for the curvatures and derived equivalences over the image and by invariance conditions. In the context of these theories the concepts of a metric, connection, diiusion operator, curvatures and equivalences are the essential physical objects. Next it is proposed to use curvatures and equivalences in morphological granulometry by means of size densities, statistical morphology and morphological scale-space theories among which those generated by parabolic dilations and those generated by watershed transformations on mosaic images. Furthermore, our dynamic scale-space paradigm is shown to substantiate and even generalise segmentation methods based on morphological scale-space theories.

Dynamic scale-space paradigms versus mathematical morphology?

The geometric and statistical physical concepts of dynamic scale-space paradigms are presented and juxtaposed to those of mathematical morphology. It turns out that the dynamic paradigms can be applied to, substantiate and even generalise the morphological techniques and paradigms. In particular the importance of the dynamic scale-space concepts in granulometry by means of size densities or sta...

Morphological Scale - spacePaul

Scale-space is an important recent concept used in image processing and pattern recognition. Traditional scale-space is generated by a linear smoothing operation. We present here a nonlinear type of smoother related to mathematical morphology which meets (modiied) \scale-space ax-ioms" and also generates a \scale-space." This scale-space is full-plane and preserves the positions of features.

Scale Space Properties of the Multiscale Morphological Closing-opening Filter

\Scale-space" is an important recent concept used in image and signal processing and pattern recognition. Traditional scale-space is generated by a linear Gaus-sian smoothing operation. We present here a nonlinear type of smoother corresponding to the multiscale opening and closing operations of mathematical morphology which also generates a \scale-space." We show that a parabolic structuring e...

Evaluating a colour morphological scale-space

Scale-spaces are usually associated with the diffusion equation operating on greyscale images. This paper presents a scale-space that is based on graph morphology and works in colour. The system is shown to be a natural extension of the existing greyscale graph-morphology scale-spaces. The system is evaluated by comparing it to a specially collected database of ground-truth images created by hu...
