Efficient primitive binary morphological algorithms on a massively parallel processor

摘要

One of the most important features in image analysis and understanding is shape. Mathematical morphology is the image pro- cessing branch that deals with shape analysis. The definition of all morphological transformations is based on two primitive operations, i.e., dilation and erosion. Since many applications require the solu- tion of morphological problems in real time, researching time effi- cient algorithms for these two operations is crucial.
