Closing (morphology)In mathematical morphology, the closing of a set () A by a structuring element B is the erosion of the dilation of that set, where and denote the dilation and erosion, respectively. In , closing is, together with opening, the basic workhorse of morphological noise removal. Opening removes small objects, while closing removes small holes. It is idempotent, that is, . It is increasing, that is, if , then . It is extensive, i.e., . It is translation invariant.
Érosion (informatique)L'érosion est l'une des deux opérations fondamentales du traitement d'image morphologique. Soit A une image binaire, respectant les conventions usuelles suivantes : Les pixels ayant la valeur 0 sont considérés de couleur noire et représentent le fond. Les pixels ayant la valeur 1 sont considérés de couleur blanche et représentent le sujet de l'image. Soit B un élément structurant, respectant lui aussi ces conventions.
Dilation (morphology)Dilation (usually represented by ⊕) is one of the basic operations in mathematical morphology. Originally developed for , it has been expanded first to grayscale images, and then to complete lattices. The dilation operation usually uses a structuring element for probing and expanding the shapes contained in the input image. In binary morphology, dilation is a shift-invariant (translation invariant) operator, equivalent to Minkowski addition. A binary image is viewed in mathematical morphology as a subset of a Euclidean space Rd or the integer grid Zd, for some dimension d.
Structuring elementIn mathematical morphology, a structuring element is a shape, used to probe or interact with a given image, with the purpose of drawing conclusions on how this shape fits or misses the shapes in the image. It is typically used in morphological operations, such as dilation, erosion, opening, and closing, as well as the hit-or-miss transform. According to Georges Matheron, knowledge about an object (e.g., an image) depends on the manner in which we probe (observe) it.
Opening (morphology)In mathematical morphology, opening is the dilation of the erosion of a set A by a structuring element B: where and denote erosion and dilation, respectively. Together with closing, the opening serves in computer vision and as a basic workhorse of morphological noise removal. Opening removes small objects from the foreground (usually taken as the bright pixels) of an image, placing them in the background, while closing removes small holes in the foreground, changing small islands of background into foreground.
Somme de MinkowskiEn géométrie, la somme de Minkowski est une opération sur les parties d'un espace vectoriel. À deux parties A et B elle associe leur ensemble somme, formé des sommes d'un élément de A et d'un élément de B : La somme de deux compacts est compacte. Il est ainsi possible de restreindre l'opération à cet ensemble, qui peut être muni d'une distance, dite de Hausdorff. La somme de Minkowski est alors une opération continue. De plus elle respecte les convexes, c'est-à-dire que la somme de deux convexes est encore convexe.
Digital image processingDigital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process s through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over . It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.
