Abstract

Granulometries and pattern spectra are morphological tools used to obtain size distributions in images. This paper presents the application of these techniques to radar signals. It uses a new approach which is more appropriate for RF signals than the classical approach. It uses complex openings, closings and power measurements instead of the usual gray-tone operators and the Lebesgue measure. Examples for simulated and real radar signals are given.
