• “Morphological”=shape, form, structure
• Notes
• Useful for extracting and describing image component regions
• Usually applied to binary images
• Based on set theory
• Key topics
• Set theory
• Binary operations: dilation, erosion, opening, closing
• Connected components
• Morphological algorithms
• Gray scale morphology
Binary Images
• Obtained from
• Thresholding gray level images
• Or as a resulting product of feature detectors
• Often want to count or measure shape od 2D binary image regions
• Typical applications
• Object on conveyor belt
• Characters and text maps
• Chromosomes
• Fingerprints
• Circuit boards
• Overhead aerial images
