Attribute-space connectivity and connected filters
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper connected operators from mathematical morphology are extended to a wider class of operators, which are based on connectivities in higher dimensional spaces, similar to scale spaces, which will be called attribute-spaces. Though some properties of connected filters are lost, granulometries can be defined under certain conditions, and pattern spectra in most cases. The advantage of this approach is that regions can be split into constituent parts before filtering more naturally than by using partitioning connectivities. Furthermore, the approach allows dealing with overlap, which is impossible in connectivity. A theoretical comparison to hyperconnectivity suggests the new concept is different. The theoretical results are illustrated by several examples. These show how attribute-space connected filters merge the ability of filtering based on local structure using classical, structuring-element-based filters to the object-attribute-based filtering of connected filters, and how this differs from similar attempts using second-generation connectivity. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Surface-Area-Based Attribute Filtering in 3D
Attribute filters are a subset of connected operators.Connected filters have the capacity to precisely identify and extract connected components in their entirety and without distorting their boundaries. This property, critical in many applications such as medical imaging, increases their popularity and makes them a suitable tool for problems in which accurate shape analysis is of importance. C...
متن کاملTwo Applications of Shape-Based Morphology: Blood Vessels Segmentation and a Generalization of Constrained Connectivity
Connected filtering is a popular strategy that relies on treebased image representations: for example, one can compute an attribute on each node of the tree and keep only the nodes for which the attribute is sufficiently strong. This operation can be seen as a thresholding of the tree, seen as a graph whose nodes are weighted by the attribute. Rather than being satisfied with a mere thresholdin...
متن کاملFuzzy attribute openings based on a new fuzzy connectivity class. Application to structural recognition in images
In problems such as image segmentation and recognition, the connectivity of target objects is a key feature. In the mathematical morphology framework, connected filters were derived from the classical connectivity theory but do not take into account the imperfections that can affect the image formation. The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) introduce a new class of connectivity for fuzzy object...
متن کاملSTABILIZER TOPOLOGY OF HOOPS
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of right, left and product stabilizers on hoops and study some properties and the relation between them. And we try to find that how they can be equal and investigate that under what condition they can be filter, implicative filter, fantastic and positive implicative filter. Also, we prove that right and product stabilizers are filters and if they are ...
