Abstract
The lecture is focused on mathematical morphology in image analysis. The methods will be discussed from theoretical, application and algorithmic point of view. Students can try the methods on simple practical examples in class exercises.
Key topics
  • Structuring element and its decomposition
  • Fundamental morphological operators (erosion, dilation, opening, closing, top-hat, ...)
  • Hit-or-miss transform, skeletons, thinning, thickening
  • Geodesic transformations and metrics
  • Morphological reconstructions
  • Morphological filters
  • Segmentation, watershed transform, markers
  • Efficient implementation of morphological operators
  • Granulometry, classification, texture analysis
