Garra rufa is one of the most popular therapeutic and commercially important fish in ichthyotherapy. Otolith and scale morphology provide new and useful information for fish identification and classification. Left-right asteriscus and lapillus otoliths from juvenile and adult doctor fish, and the scales from 6 different regions of the juvenile and adult fish body have been examined in Kangal Ba...

The Minkowski functionals are a mathematical tool to quantify morphological features of patterns. Some applications to the matter distribution in galaxy catalogues and N-body simulations are reviewed, with an emphasis on the effects of cosmic variance. The conclusions are that (i) the observed large-scale morphology is sensitive to cosmic variance on scales much larger than the nonlinear length...

Abstraet--A new approach to digital implementation of continuous-scale mathematical morphology is presented. The approach is based on discretization of evolution equations associated with continuous multiscale morphological operations. Those equations, and their corresponding numerical implementation, can be derived either directly from mathematical morphology definitions or from curve evolutio...

We explore the application of area morphology to image classification. From the input image, a scale space is created by successive application of an area morphology operator. The pixels within the scale space corresponding to the same image location form a scale space vector. A scale space vector therefore contains the intensity of a particular pixel for a given set of scales, determined in th...

This paper describes the implementation of a full-scale pronunciation lexicon for Turkish based on a two-level morphological analyzer. The system produces at its output, a parallel representation of the pronunciation and the morphological analysis of the word form so that morphological disambiguation can be used to disambiguate pronunciation when necessary. The pronunciation representation is b...

In this paper, I give an overview of an ongoing project which aims at building a full-scale computational grammar for Georgian in the Lexical Functional Grammar framework and try to illustrate both practical and theoretical aspects of grammar development. The rich and complex morphology of the language is a major challenge when building a computational grammar for Georgian that is meant to be m...

Words in Semitic languages are formed by combining two morphemes: a root and a pattern. The root consists of consonants only, by default three, and the pattern is a combination of vowels and consonants, with non-consecutive “slots” into which the root consonants are inserted. Identifying the root of a given word is an important task, considered to be an essential part of the morphological analy...

Systems that attempt to recover the spoken word from image sequences usually require complicated models of the mouth and its motions. Here we describe a new approach based on a fast mathematical morphology transform called the sieve. We form statistics of scale measurements in one and two dimensions and these are used as a feature vector for standard Hidden Markov Models (HMMs).

Pixel-wise classification in high-dimensional multivariate images is investigated. The proposed method deals with the joint use of spectral and spatial information provided in hyperspectral images. Additive morphological decomposition (AMD) based on morphological operators is proposed. AMD defines a scale-space decomposition for multivariate images without any loss of information. AMD is modele...
