Mathematical morphology is a powerful methodology for processing and analysing the shape and form of objects in images. The advances in this area of science allow for application in the digital recognition and modeling of faces and other objects by computers. Mathematical Morphology is comprehensive work that provides a broad sampling of the most recent theoretical and practical developments in applications to image processing and analysis. Subject areas covered include: binary morphology, regularised region growing, morphological scale-space techniques, levelings, reconstruction, modeling and simulation, and applications as diverse as medicine, forestry and geology. This fascinating research will be of great interest to engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians and statisticians whose research work is focussed on the theoretical and practical aspects of non-linear image processing and analysis. The content stems from the proceedings of the VIth International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, held April 3–5, 2002 in Sydney, Australia.

The Relationship

Mathematical morphology as an image processing and analysis tools is both a science and an art. The theory of mathematical morphology is rooted in topology, where a set-theoretic framework is the basis of binary morphology. Gray-scale morphology is an extension into the space of functions. This rigorous formulation has provided powerful transformations, operating directly on the information content of an image. However, it is up to the investigator’s creativity to devise the appropriate criteria for each problem at hand.The main focus of the present study is the analysis of image contrast and the relationship with the underlying structure of the material. Image processing and analysis methods based on mathematical morphology were applied to high resolution micrographs of irradiated ceramics: electronirradiated tridymite and ion-irradiated lead pyrophosphate single crystal.The interesting feature of these images is the presence of periodic, aperiodic and partially ordered structures, Fig.s la and 2a.

Quantification of filamentous bacteria in activated sludge systems can be made by manual counting under a microscope or by the application of various automated image analysis procedures. The latter has been significantly developed in the last two decades. In this work a new method based upon automated image analysis techniques was elaborated and presented. It consisted of three stages: (a) Neisser staining, (b) grabbing of microscopic images, and (c) digital image processing and analysis. This automated image analysis procedure possessed the features of novelty. It simultaneously delivered data about aggregates and filaments in an individual calculation routine, which is seldom met in the procedures described in the literature so far. What is more important, the macroprogram performing image processing and calculation of morphological parameters was written in the same software which was used for grabbing of images. Previously published procedures required using two different types of software, one for image grabbing and another one for image processing and analysis. Application of this new procedure for the quantification of filamentous bacteria in the full-scale as well as laboratory activated sludge systems proved that it was simple, fast and delivered reliable results.

Laboratory experiments are typically performed on particulate media to study stress-deformation behavior and to verify or calibrate computer models from controlled or measured boundary stresses and displacements. However, such data do not permit the formation of shear bands, displacement fields within flowing granular media, and other small-scale localized deformation phenomena to be identified. Described are two semiautomated computer vision techniques for accurately determining the two-dimensional displacement field in granular soils from video images obtained through a transparent planar viewing window. The techniques described are applicable for studying the behavior of particulate media under plane strain and certain axisymmetric test conditions. Digital image processing and analysis routines are used in two different computer programs, Tracker and Tracer, Tracker uses a graphical user interface that allows individual particles to be selected and tracked through a sequence of digital video images. A contrast edge detection algorithm delineates the two-dimensional projected boundaries of particles. The location of the centroid of each particle selected for tracking is determined from the boundary to quantify the trajectory of each particle. Tracer maps the trace or trajectory of specially dyed fluorescent particles in a sequence of video frames. A thresholding technique segments individual particle trajectories. Together, Tracker and Tracer provide a set of tools for identifying small-scale displacement fields in particulate assemblies deforming under either quasi-static or rapid loading (such as gravity flow).

Deep learning technique has made a tremendous impact on medical image processing and analysis. Typically, the procedure of medical image processing and analysis via deep learning technique includes image segmentation, image enhancement, and classification or regression. A challenge for supervised deep learning frequently mentioned is the lack of annotated training data. In this paper, we aim to address the problems of training transferred deep neural networks with limited amount of annotated data. We proposed a versatile framework for medical image processing and analysis via deep active learning technique. The framework includes (1) applying deep active learning approach to segment specific regions of interest (RoIs) from raw medical image by using annotated data as few as possible; (2) generative adversarial Network is employed to enhance contrast, sharpness, and brightness of segmented RoIs; (3) Paced Transfer Learning (PTL) strategy which means fine-tuning layers in deep neural networks from top to bottom step by step to perform medical image classification or regression tasks. In addition, in order to understand the necessity of deep-learning-based medical image processing tasks and provide clues for clinical usage, class active map (CAM) is employed in our framework to visualize the feature maps. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we apply our framework to the bone age assessment (BAA) task using RSNA dataset and achieve the state-of-the-art performance. Experimental results indicate that the proposed framework can be effectively applied to medical image analysis task.
