Statistical morphological filters for binary image processing
Carlo S. Regazzoni, A.S. Venetsanopoulos, G.L. Foresti, Gianni L. Vernazza · 2002
A new class of statistical morphological operators for binary image processing is introduced. These operators are based on a digitized version of the mean field approximation. The main advantage of the new operators is provided by the capability of taking into account both noise and shape information. Binary statistical dilation (BSD) and binary statistical erosion (BSE) are considered as a case study. Extensivity properties of BSD and BSE are also discussed.>
