Abstract
In this work we propose a further generalization of the Morphological Skeleton Decomposition on Boolean Lattices. In this generalization, the family of structuring-functions which determines the decomposition has its scalar index λ replaced by a generic index i from a totally or partially ordered set I. This enables, for example, skeleton decompositions by richer and more complex families of shapes, characterized by several scalar indices (i.e., a multi-dimensional index), instead of just a single scalar index.
Particular cases and applications are discussed.
