Abstract:The max-tree is a mathematical morphology tool that represents all connected components resulting of every possible upper threshold of an image. This work focus on advancing further the max-tree theory, algorithms and applications. In the theory domain, extinction filters (EFs) for increasing attributes are defined and a procedure for computing EFs for nonincreasing attributes, based on the space of shapes approach, is presented. In the algorithms domain, an array-based node-oriented data structure to store th… Show more
