Vectorial Levelings and Flattenings

  • Chapter
Mathematical Morphology and its Applications to Image and Signal Processing

Part of the book series: Computational Imaging and Vision ((CIVI,volume 18))

Abstract

It is possible to level a colour image by applying to each of its coordinates a separate grey-tone leveling. Interpreting this operation in a vectorial space gives a better insight into levelings and flattenings, interpreted as Minkowski subtractions.
