An algorithm for multiresolution pyramid decomposition is described. At each stage, the smoothed (“lowpass”) image is obtained by combining morphological grayscale opening and closing. Using this technique, we avoid the systematic bias of traditional approaches, as illustrated by an example. As our application, we perform image enhancement by modifying the reconstruction scheme using a morpholo...

Reading involves the decoding of written forms into language forms that represent phonological, morphological, and word level units. Thus, orthographies convey not only phonological but also morphological information—the word roots, syntactic inflections, and derivational relations that constitute the minimal semantic and grammatical units of a language. There are many psycholinguistic issues b...

The morphological skeleton and morphological shape decomposition (MSD) are the two popular approaches for morphological shape representation. Each method represents an object as the union of a number of components, where each component is given by a locus of points dilated by a speciied structuring element homothetic. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for many objects, an MSD-based representatio...

Morphological decomposition is an important part of complex word processing. In Chinese, this requires a comprehensive consideration of phonological, orthographic and morphemic information. The left inferior frontal gyrus (L-IFG) has been implicated in this process in alphabetic languages. However, it is unclear whether the neural mechanisms underlying morphological processing in alphabetic lan...

Two variants of dynamic link matching based on mathematical morphology are developed and tested for frontal face authentication, namely, the Morphological Dynamic Link Architecture and the Morphological Signal Decomposition-Dynamic Link Architecture. Local coeecients which weigh the contribution of each node in elastic graph matching according to its discriminatory power are derived. The perfor...
