[comp.graphics] Mathematical Morphology and Image Processing

annala@neuro.usc.edu (A J Annala) (01/03/90)

Would someone familiar with J. Serra's work on nontraditional
image processing techniques post a brief opinion (maybe even
a review) of the principal contributions made in the original
version of this book and the subsequent two volume release?

I suspect these new techniques might be of interest to many
people in this newsgroup.  I am seeing more systems based on
Serra's work at various national conferences.

Thanks, AJ Annala

The way I understand it is as follows

There are 4 fundamental operations

Erosion
Dilation
Opening
Closing

It's been a while and I memory fails me, 
but all four operation can be expressed in terms of union, 
intersection and translation.

The best way to undestand is to experiment with simple images

BTW, the book is very badly written
