Geometrical patterns are encountered in many different fields of science and technology, including porous media, biology, polymer chemistry, metallography, geology and astronomy. 1), 2) We characterize these patterns in terms of shape (geometry) and connectivity (topology) by means of morphological image analysis (MIA). This involves the calculation of the Minkowski functionals known from integ...

background: hydatidosis is one of the zoonotic diseases which affect animals and human beings at the larval stage of echinococcusgranulosus, thereby playing a role in exacerbating the economic and health problems in iran. objectives: this study was conducted to investigate the strains of echinococcusgranulosus isolated from cattle hydatid cysts, in khorramabad, in the lorestan province, west of...

A ne Invariant Deformation Curves A Tool for Shape Characterization Rein van den Boomgaard Dept. of Computer Science University of Amsterdam The Netherlands In this paper we describe a combination of two well-known concepts: morphological deformation curves and a ne invariant evolution processes. A morphological deformation curve is a shape descriptor obtained by continuously deforming the shap...
