Abstract

This paper deals with the notion of connectivity in viscous lattices. In particular, a new family of morphological connected filters, called connected viscous filters is proposed. Connected viscous filters are completely determined by two criteria: size parameter and connectivity. The connection of these filters is defined on viscous lattices in such a way that they verify several properties of the traditionally known filters by reconstruction. Moreover, reconstruction algorithms used to implement filters by reconstruction can also be employed to implement these new filters. We also show that connected viscous filters have a behavior similar to filters with reconstruction criteria. The interest of these new connected filters is illustrated with different examples.
