Abstract

Historically, mathematical morphology has primarily focused on the processing and analysis of two-dimensional image data. In this paper, we survey a number of other areas where mathematical morphology finds fruitful application, such as computer graphics and solid modeling; path planning; filtering, segmentation and visualization of volume data; or visual exploration of high-dimensional data. We also mention techniques for accelerating morphological computations by using graphics hardware (GPU computing).
