Serra J., Soille P. Mathematical Morphology and Its Applications to Image Processing

Springer, 1994. — 391 p.The first international conference entirely devoted to Mathematical Morphology (MM) and its applications to signal and image processing took place in Barcelona in May 1993. The success of this conference and the quality of the presented papers fostered us into organizing a second international conference in September 1994 in Fontainebleau, precisely where MM was born some 30 years ago.
Among the 86 submitted extended abstracts, 45 have been selected for an oral presentation . The full papers corresponding to these presentations constitute the core of this book . They represent the latest theoretical and applied developments of MM. Over 20 poster contributions have also been selected for the conference. These contributions are published separately by the Ecole des Mines de Paris and listed in Appendix B. We wish to express our thanks to the scientific committee who had the difficult task of reviewing the submitted papers within a very short time frame.Theory
