Mathematical Morphology and Its Application to Signal and Image Processing: 9th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, ISMM 2009 Groningen, The Netherlands, August 24-27, 2009 Proceedings

The 9th ISMM conference covered a very diverse collection of papers, bound together by the central themes of mathematical morphology, namely, the tre- ment of images in terms of set and lattice theory. Notwithstanding this central theme, this ISMM showed increasing interaction with other fields of image and signal processing, and several hybrid methods were presented, which combine the strengths of traditional morphological methods with those of, for example, linear—ltering.This trendis par...
