• We want to find disjoint region D in space A.
• We want to find disjoint region D in space A.
• Let D be enclosed by a small window W
• The local background of D with respect to
W is (W-D)
• Complement of A is also shown
• Apply both steps of Hit-or-Miss Transform on the following figure to
find the object ‘C’.
• Result of Step 1:
• Result of Step 2:
• Final Result:
• While dealing with binary images, one of the principal application of
morphology is extracting image components that are useful in
representation and description of shape.
• Extracting Boundaries
• Connected Components
• Convex Hulls
• Skeleton
• Region Filling
• Thinning
• Thickening
• Pruning etc.
• Boundary of region A is denoted by 𝜷 𝑨
• Defined as
• What will be the effect of increasing the size of SE on the boundary?
