Abstract
It has been shown that the use of the salience map based on the salience distance transform can be useful for the construction of spatially adaptive structuring elements. In this paper, we propose salience-based parabolic structuring functions that are defined for a fixed, predefined spatial support, and have low computational complexity. In addition, we discuss how to properly define adjunct morphological operators using the new spatially adaptive structuring functions. It is also possible to obtain flat adaptive structuring elements by thresholding the salience-based parabolic structuring functions.
