Morphology Workshop
Abstract
Mathematical morphology provides the operations of dilation, erosion, opening and closing for performing non-linear image analysis for binary or grayscale images. The algebra of mathematical morphology is as rich as the algebra of convolution and correlation. The algebra is not based on linear combination and has no relation to spatial frequencies. Rather, it has an intrinsic connection to shape due to the primitive matching property inherent in the opening and closing morphological operations. Mathematical morphology can be important component of many of the future smart sensors the Army is developing. The technology of mathematical morphology has proved itself in the manufacturing industry where it is being successfully used on the factory floor for visual robot guidance, object recognition, inspection, and flaw detection. Almost every company manufacturing pixel pushing machine vision boards has one board capable of performing mathematical morphology as well as the traditional convolution operations.
