Image Analysis Using Mathematical Morphology

TLDR
The tutorial provided in this paper reviews both binary morphology and gray scale morphology, covering the operations of dilation, erosion, opening, and closing and their relations.
Abstract
For the purposes of object or defect identification required in industrial vision applications, the operations of mathematical morphology are more useful than the convolution operations employed in signal processing because the morphological operators relate directly to shape. The tutorial provided in this paper reviews both binary morphology and gray scale morphology, covering the operations of dilation, erosion, opening, and closing and their relations. Examples are given for each morphological concept and explanations are given for many of their interrelationships.

Anisotropic diffusion in image processing

TL;DR: This work states that all scale-spaces fulllling a few fairly natural axioms are governed by parabolic PDEs with the original image as initial condition, which means that, if one image is brighter than another, then this order is preserved during the entire scale-space evolution.

Correction for geometric distortion in echo planar images from B0 field variations

TL;DR: A method is described for the correction of geometric distortions occurring in echo planar images, caused in large part by static magnetic field inho‐mogeneities, leading to pixel shifts, particularly in the phase encode direction.

Biomedical Image Processing

Sternberg
- 01 Jan 1983 - 
TL;DR: For the last five years, the University of Michigan and the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan have conducted a unique series of studies that involve the processing of biomedical imagery on a highly parallel computer specifically designed for image processing, finding that quantification by automated image analysis not only increases diagnostic accuracy but also provides significant data not obtainable from qualitative analysis alone.
