Image Segmentation using Mathematical Morphology : A Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mathematical morphology deals with the
mathematical theory of describing shapes using sets. It is a nonlinear
image processing method for the analysis and processing
of geometrical structures. Mathematical morphology has been
widely used for many applications of image processing and
analysis. In image processing, it is used to investigate the
interaction between an image and a certain chosen structuring
element. Morphological techniques include erosion and dilation,
opening and closing, outlining, and thinning and skeletonization.
Mathematical morphology can be used for edge detection, image
segmentation, noise elimination, feature extraction and other
image processing problems. In this paper we are going to
discuss document image segmentation using morphological
operations.
