Abstract

In this paper we give an overview of both classical andmore modern morphological techniques. We will demonstrate theirutility through a range of practical examples. After discussing thefundamental morphological ideas, we show how the classicmorphological opening and closing filters lead to measures of sizevia granulometries, and we will discuss briefly their implementation.We also present an overview of morphological segmentation techniques,and the use of connected openings and thinnings will be demonstrated.This then leads us into the more recent set-theoretic notions ofgraph based approaches to image analysis.
