This article shows how the dynamics extinction value can be used to compute the decomposition of a function as a sum of simpler components. We show that this decomposition induces a hierarchical segmentation of the domain of definition, and a new partial ordering on nonnegative functions. Removing some of the components according to different criteria leads to new morphological operators. Their...

We conduct a cross-modal priming experiment to determine the mental representation and access strategies for morphologically derived words in Bangla. Analysis of reaction time and error rates indicates that morphologically related words trigger priming effects, even when they are phonologically opaque, and phonologically related but morphologically unrelated words do not exhibit priming. Thus, ...

In this paper, we propose a novel stereoscopic image coder, which consists of a coding unit based on the morphological representation of the wavelet transform coefficients and a disparity compensation unit based on the quad-tree analysis and the disparity compensation between the images of a stereo pair. The coding unit employs a Discrete Wavelet Transform followed by a morphological coder, whi...

Area morphology filters are capable of removing objects in an image based solely on the object area. These operators can be effectively used for content based image retrieval. However, the traditional level set based implementations of these operators are impractical because of their time complexities. Here we present a fast implementation of area morphology based on bitplane decomposition of t...

It has been claimed that speakers distinguish between phonemically-identical initial syllables that differ in morphological structure, but the phonetic details are poorly understood. Five SSBE speakers read scripted dialogues containing words with such syllables, half with true prefixes (Pr) e.g. mistimes, displease, and half with pseudo-prefixes (PsPr) e.g. mistakes, displays. Each word occurr...

This paper describes a novel inpainting algorithm that is capable of filling in holes in overlapping texture and cartoon image layers. This algorithm is a direct extension of a recently developed sparse-representation-based image decomposition method called MCA (morphological component analysis), designed for the separation of linearly combined texture and cartoon layers in a given image (see [...

An image may be decomposed as a difference between an image of peaks and an image of wells. Applying a morphological operator to these two components before reconstructing a final image produces interesting filters for grey tone or binary images. This decomposition depends upon the point of view from where the image is considered.

Two novel variants of Dynamic Link Architecture that are based on mathematical morphology and incorporate coeecients which weigh the contribution of each node in elastic graph matching according to its discriminatory power are developed. They are the so called Morphological Dynamic Link Architecture and the Morphological Signal Decomposition-Dynamic Link Architecture. The proposed variants are ...

In this study, four statistical classifiers, namely linear discriminant classifier, quadratic discriminant classifier, k-Nearest Neighborhood classifier, and parzen classifier are considered for recognition of 2D-shapes. The octagonal shape features are identified from 2D-shapes with the morphological shape decomposition technique. These features are reduced using principle component analysis. ...

We report two lexical decision experiments analyzing Russian prefixed and unprefixed verbs and deverbal nouns. These experiments show that the summed frequency of direct derivatives influences access time to the base word. We demonstrate that this effect cannot be explained by semantic or phonological similarity and is not due to the fact that derived words undergo morphological decomposition d...
