10 Basics of Mathematical morphology Definition A framework for analysis of spatial structures in images. A non-linear alternative to existing image processing toolboxes. A set of operators applied on an image f with a pattern (SE) B. Two fundamentals operators (erosion ε and dilation δ) from which are built more complex ones. Theoretical framework For binary images, MM may be formalized with set theory... but not for more complex images (grayscale, multispectral). Thus MM is rather defined using complete lattice theory.

12 Basics of Mathematical morphology Complete lattice theory A complete lattice is defined from : a partially ordered set (L, ) (e.g. the natural order of scalars) an infimum or greatest lower bound (e.g. minimum) a supremum or least upper bound (e.g. maximum) Main operators Erosion : ε B (f )(x, y) = (r,s) B Dilation : δ B (f )(x, y) = Opening : Closing : (r,s) B γ B (f )(p) = δ B(ε B (f )(p)) φ B B(f )(p) = ε B (δ B (f )(p)) f (x + r, y + s), (x, y) E f (x + r, y + s), (x, y) E Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 5

14 Domain knowledge and MM Existing methods for knowledge integration Definition of structuring elements It is possible to define the shape and size of the SE depending on the problem under consideration. But definition of the SE may be irrelevant for some objects! Choice of morphological operators To solve a problem, a morphological expert will select the appropriate operators or algorithms (including pre/post-processing). But the expert is not always here! Parameters tuning Many algorithms require some parameters or thresholds to be set (e.g. oversegmentation reduction). But this task is most often very awkward! Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 6
15 Domain knowledge and MM Various knowledge may be available for the object(s) or image(s) shape(s) size(s) scale(s) spectral composition(s) textural description(s) number and models of object classes noise level of the signal... Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 7
16 Two kinds of knowledge Expert knowledge A database, a set of rules or parameters, or an ontology contains knowledge given and formalized by the expert. Learning samples A set of visual examples which are semantically meaningful for the user, thus he can give and label some learning data for a subsequent classification approach.

19 Using expert knowledge From objects to structuring elements An object is characterized by : spatial properties spectral properties combination of both thus it can lead to a predefined SE. Definition of a SE Various kind of SE can be used : flat SE (only shape/size information) functional SE (+ intensity profile) vectorial SE (+ spectral profile) composite SE which consists in a set of single SEs Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 10

21 Using expert knowledge Incomplete definition of the object or SE The expert knowledge may be less precise : only the number of classes of interest is known only an approximate size and shape are known In both cases, several single results are computed : for each cluster or class for each object size for each object shape... There is finally a need to merge the results (e.g. with union or supremum). Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 11
22 Using learning samples Learning dataset and supervised classification process Spectral/textural information is given by the learning dataset. This dataset can be used by a hard or fuzzy supervised classification process. A knowledge-based representation space A pixel is associated with membership values to each class. Vectors contain class membership values instead of spectral values. But both can also be combined (e.g. average, product).

24 Using learning samples And spatial information? Remark : the spatial location of learning samples may also be relevant and could be used. Towards an iterative process If posterior evaluation is possible, optimal parameters for the morphological process can be estimated : shape size spectral band other parameters (e.g. for oversegmentation reduction) Knowledge-driven morphological approaches for image segmentation and object detection 13

26 Watershed Transform Principle of the immersion paradigm 1 the input image is considered as a topographic surface 2 this surface is flooded from its local minima (=basins) 3 dams are built to prevent waters coming from two different sources to merge 4 when all the surface is flooded, dams are the watershed lines Comments the algorithm is often applied on an image gradient this method is prone to oversegmentation, solutions are : using some markers (initial basins), thus limiting the number of created regions involving some oversegmentation reduction techniques how to guide this algorithm with some knowledge?
