This course is an introduction to the principles and basic concepts of Mathematical Morphology (MM) with applications to digital image processing and analysis. MM is a collection of non-linear operators related to the shape of geometrical structures in an image. It familiarizes the audience with the understanding, design, and implementation of algorithms in the various sub-areas of morphological image processing such as filtering, segmentation, measurements, texture analysis, shape recognition and scene interpretation. Many relevant DCS application examples using such morphological image
processing methods (from different imaging modalities) will complement the technical descriptions.
