Abstract [en]
This paper proposes a way of better approximating continuous, two-dimensional morphologyin the discrete domain, by allowing for irregularly sampled input and output signals. We generalizeprevious work to allow for a greater variety of structuring elements, both flat and non-flat. Experimentallywe show improved results over regular, discrete morphology with respect to the approximation ofcontinuous morphology. It is also worth noting that the number of output samples can often be reducedwithout sacrificing the quality of the approximation, since the morphological operators usually generateoutput signals with many plateaus, which, intuitively do not need a large number of samples to be correctlyrepresented. Finally, the paper presents some results showing adaptive morphology on irregularlysampled signals.
