“…Likewise, in image processing and segmentation, regions of differing image intensity and color can be modeled as depressions that represent either noise or features of interest. In this context, geomorphological algorithms for depression handling (e.g., Barnes et al, 2014b) have been applied to cosmic microwave background radiation (Giri et al, 2017), nanoparticle chemistry (Svoboda et al, 2018), biological membranes (Kulbacki et al, 2017), road-car segmentation (Beucher, 1994), murder and crime statistics (Khisha et al, 2017), remote sensing of buildings (Golovanov et al, 2018), neuron mapping (Iascone et al, 2020), and metal defect mapping (Blikhars'kyi and Obukh, 2018). This multidisciplinary set of uses demonstrates the broad potential of a generalized algorithm that can compute depressions and their topology.…”
