A neural network structure that learns feature extraction and classification operations simultaneously is described. The feature extraction operations are represented using generalized imagealgebra operations. Learning rules are described. Linear operations and nonlinear, hit-or-miss operations are used to perform handwritten digit recognition.
imagealgebra (IA) was developed to provide a standard mathematical means of describing imageprocessing algorithms. The goal of IA was to reduce the amount of programming code required in implementing an image proces...

Multiresolution image decomposition based on nonlinear filtering has received a lot of attention recently. In this research, we investigate the coding issue for one class of nonlinear multiresolution image decomposition based on mathematical morphology. We consider the use of opening and closing operations with a flat structure element to achieve image decomposition. The entropy and histogram of the difference images in the image pyramid are then examined. We give a numerical example to demonstrate potential advantages of the morphological filtering approach over the conventional linear filtering approach in the context of image coding. However, we also point out difficulties encountered in our study that have to be overcome before the method can be practically used.
In this paper we describe our recent work developing automated methods for generation of kernels or structuring elements for use in the hit-or-miss transform. We show how a neural network algorithm (Fuzzy Adaptive Res...

In this paper we describe our recent work developing automated methods for generation of kernels or structuring elements for use in the hit-or-miss transform. We show how a neural network algorithm (Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory) generates hit and miss structuring elements that can be used with a fuzzy morphology to detect a class of objects and we illustrate with computer simulations.

New criteria for shape preservation are presented. These criteria are applied in optimizing soft morphological filters. The filters are optimized by simulated annealing and genetic algorithms which are briefly reviewed. A situation where the given criteria give better results compared to the traditional MAE and MSE criteria is illustrated.

This paper presents a neural network application to target classification using a new type of neural network called the Fuzzy imagealgebra Neural Network (FIANN). The FIANN is used in a heterogenous network structure. The first layer of the net performs feature extraction, while the remaining layers are used for classification. Generalized imagealgebra operations are used to obtain fuzzy morphological or linear operation. The parameters for the generalized operations are learned in a fashion similar to standard backpropagation, but with training rules based on a combination of stochastic learning and gradient descent techniques. The type of data used is the range data part of tank LADAR data. The objective is to classify the tanks by type. The range data is first converted to elevation data, which is input to the net for feature extraction and classification. A two tiered approach is used for training. The first layer learns image features, while the top layers perform classification.

In this paper, we discuss methods for multispectral ATR (Automated Target Recognition) of small targets that are sensed under suboptimal conditions, such as haze, smoke, and low light levels. In particular, we discuss our ongoing development of algorithms and software that effect intelligent object recognition by selecting ATR filter parameters according to ambient conditions. Our algorithms are expressed in terms of IA (imagealgebra), a concise, rigorous notation that unifies linear and nonlinear mathematics in the imageprocessing domain. IA has been implemented on a variety of parallel computers, with preprocessors available for the Ada and FORTRAN languages. An imagealgebra C++ class library has recently been made available. Thus, our algorithms are both feasible implementationally and portable to numerous machines. Analyses emphasize the aspects of imagealgebra that aid the design of multispectral vision algorithms, such as parameterized templates that facilitate the flexible specification of ATR filters.

This paper states and proves a number of properties of the tophat and the tophat spectrum. These include: the tophat is antiextensive and idempotent (but not increasing); each image in the tophat spectrum is size-limited and open; the structuring element family need not be mutually open to generate a tophat spectrum; if the SE family is mutually open, and the original image is binary, each image in the tophat spectrum includes the open part of the corresponding image from the opening spectrum; and, the tophat spectrum is identical to the opening spectrum created with a family of flat, 1D structuring elements.

In this paper, a comprehensive set of fast algorithms for computing granulometries in binary images is first proposed: linear granulometries (i.e., granulometries based on openings with line segments) constitute the easiest case, and are computed using image `run-length'. The 2D case (granulometries with square or `diamond'-shaped structuring elements, or granulometries with unions of line-segments at different orientations) involves the determination of opening functions or granulometry functions. The grayscale case is then addressed, and a new algorithm for computing grayscale linear granulometries is introduced. This algorithm is orders of magnitude faster than any previously available technique. The techniques introduced in this paper open up a new range of applications for granulometries, examples of which are described in the paper.
The most powerful tools of imagealgebra in terms of imageprocessing are image-template operations. An imagetemplate operation can be classified as a local operation or a nonlocal operation. For local image-template ...
