Efficient 2-D Grayscale Morphological Transformations With Arbitrary Flat Structuring Elements
TL;DR: An efficient algorithm is presented for the computation of grayscale morphological operations with arbitrary 2D flat structuring elements (S.E.E.) that outperforms the only existing comparable method by a factor between 3.5 and 35.1, depending on the image type and shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fully automatic chromosome segmentation
TL;DR: A rule-based approach is described which treats the cell as a whole rather than as a series of individual chromosomes or clusters, and has been implemented in an automatic aberration scoring system for routine use.

TL;DR: A simple two-step algorithm that combines single cells selection and the statistical analysis is suggested that effectively accounts for the fractions of different cell sub-populations in all studied cases that are in good agreement with manual cell counting on microphotographs and flow cytometry data.

Mathematical morphology: The Hamilton-Jacobi connection
TL;DR: It is asserted that mathematical morphology operations with a convex structuring element are captured by a differential deformation of the boundary along the normal, governed by a Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation (PDE).

Distance transformations in digital images
TL;DR: Six different distance transformations, both old and new, are used for a few different applications, which show both that the choice of distance transformation is important, and that any of the six transformations may be the right choice.

Euclidean distance mapping
TL;DR: It is shown that skeletons can be produced by simple procedures and since these are based on Euclidean distances it is assumed that they are superior to skeletons based on d4−, d8−, and even octagonal metrics.
