We describe our partially completed work on a set of morphological algorithms for recognizing handwritten numerals. The basic morphological operations { dilation, erosion, opening and closing { are used to extract characteristic features of these characters and check for their appropriate topological con guration. The paper describes the key shape characterization for two groups containing a to...

In contrast to the widely used mean-line based evaluation techniques, the capabilities of morphological methods are not fully recognized in practice. Morphological operations, e.g. dilation, erosion, closing and opening, are useful tools in surface metrology and dimensional metrology. This paper presents a variety of novel applications of morphological operations in association with several of ...

Morphological operations are simple mathematical constructs, which have led to effective solution for many problems in image processing and computer vision. These solutions employ discrete operators and are applied to digitized images. The mathematics behind the morphological operators also exists in the continuous domain, the domain where the images came from. We observed that the discrete ope...

This paper presents a new application of mathematical morphology (MM) operators for low speed slew bearing condition monitoring. The MM operators were used as a signal processing step and feature extraction method for bearing vibration signals. Four basic MM operators; erosion, dilation, closing and opening, were studied. This paper also investigates another potential MM operator, namely gradie...

Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology aims to extend the binary morphological operators to grey-level images. In order to define the basic morphological operations fuzzy erosion, dilation, opening and closing, we introduce a general method based upon fuzzy implication and inclusion grade operators, including as particular case, other ones existing in related literature In the definition of fuzzy erosio...

Ceramic tiles have become very popular and are used in the flooring of offices and shopping malls. As testing the quality of tiles manually in a highly polluted environment in the manufacturing industry is a laborintensive and time consuming process, analysis is carried out on the tile images. This paper discusses an automated system to detect the defects on the surface of ceramic tiles based o...

What the algebra of convolution does for linear systems, the algebra of mathematical morphology does for shape. Since shape is a prime carrier of information in machine vision, there should be little surprise about the importance of the mathematical morphology. Now adays the operations of mathematical morphology are very much useful in object or defect identification required in industrial visi...

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

The focus of this article is to develop computationally efficient mathematical morphology operators on hypergraphs. To this aim we consider lattice structures on hypergraphs on which we build morphological operators. We develop a pair of dual adjunctions between the vertex set and the hyper edge set of a hypergraph H , by defining a vertex-hyperedge correspondence. This allows us to recover the...
