Abstract

Mathematical Morphology is introduced as a method Image Analysis based on set theory. Two examples are treated in detail, in order to exhibit sequences of operations. Emphasis is put on the progressive loss of information. The concept of a morphological filter is then presented. After a discussion on the current equipments, the conclusion compares Mathematical Morphology with the other methods for Image Analysis.
