Abstract

Mathematical morphology is a geometric approach in image processing and analysis with a strong mathematical flavor. Originally, it was developed as a powerful tool for shape analysis in binary and, later, grey-scale images. But it was soon recognized that the underlying ideas could be extended naturally to a much wider class of mathematical objects, namely complete lattices. This paper presents, in a bird's eye view, the foundations of mathematical morphology, or more precisely, the theory of morphological operators on complete lattices.
