Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology aims to extend the binary morphological operators to grey-level images. In order to define the basic morphological operations fuzzy erosion, dilation, opening and closing, we introduce a general method based upon fuzzy implication and inclusion grade operators, including as particular case, other ones existing in related literature In the definition of fuzzy erosio...

Ceramic tiles have become very popular and are used in the flooring of offices and shopping malls. As testing the quality of tiles manually in a highly polluted environment in the manufacturing industry is a laborintensive and time consuming process, analysis is carried out on the tile images. This paper discusses an automated system to detect the defects on the surface of ceramic tiles based o...

What the algebra of convolution does for linear systems, the algebra of mathematical morphology does for shape. Since shape is a prime carrier of information in machine vision, there should be little surprise about the importance of the mathematical morphology. Now adays the operations of mathematical morphology are very much useful in object or defect identification required in industrial visi...

an ultra-glide twin screw extruder is employed to allow the quick and easy removal of the screws from the fixed processing section within few seconds, probing the current degree of the melting state, the dispersive anddistributive processing steps and finally the level of morphology development along extruder screws. for morphological studies the molten samples, collected from different points ...

The focus of this article is to develop computationally efficient mathematical morphology operators on hypergraphs. To this aim we consider lattice structures on hypergraphs on which we build morphological operators. We develop a pair of dual adjunctions between the vertex set and the hyper edge set of a hypergraph H , by defining a vertex-hyperedge correspondence. This allows us to recover the...

Interstellar water ice is mainly amorphous, but the nature of its morphology still remains poorly known. The experimental study described in this work focuses on how relevant changes of the ice morphology result from atomic hydrogen exposure and subsequent recombination. We show that there is an exponential decrease in the porosity of the amorphous water ice sample following hydrogen-atom irrad...

In this paper a method for detection of microcalcifications (MCCs), which appear at the beginning stages of breast cancer, is presented by using mathematical morphology. This method consists of four steps. At the first step the contrast of suspicious regions on the image is enhanced by contrast stretching. In the next step a morphological filtering process is applied by using six different stru...

Bipolarity has not been much exploited in the spatial domain yet, although it has many features to manage imprecise and incomplete information that could be interesting in this domain. This paper is a first step to address this issue, and we propose to define mathematical morphology operations on bipolar fuzzy sets (or equivalently interval valued fuzzy sets or intuitionistic fuzzy sets).

introduction: semen parameters and specially sperm morphology is used for the assessment of semen sample and for the prediction of the fertilization. however there is semen samples with normal sperm morphology but with hidden sperm chromatin anomalies. since sperm morphology and chromatin anomalies reduce the fertilization rat independently, the purpose of this study is to consider the relation...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of morphology instruction through semantic mapping on vocabulary learning of iranian intermediate efl learners. to do so, 50 out of 70 students were se-lected from one english language institute by administrating a pet test. then, they were assigned into two groups randomly as experimental and control groups. a pretest (teacher made) was admin...
