Object Recognition
With Morphological Image Processing

The goal of this project is to use morphological image processing techniques to identify and filter
out a synthetic object within a photographic background. The subjects are grayscale images of radio telescopes
from around the world, as shown in figure 1. We will hide ``Ralph'' and challenge our set of filter to find ``where's
Ralph?'', as shown in figure 2. The structuring elements we are planning are using are designed to detect features
specific to ``Ralph''.
Tutorial
on Morphological Operations
This is a web page constructed as a part of a project called "Open to Europe" for the
segment on Logic. It provides a useful description of the basic morphological operations and examples of their
use.
The SDC Morphology Toolbox for MATLAB 5 is a powerful collection of latest state-of-the-art gray-scale
morphological tools that can be applied to image segmentation, non-linear filtering, pattern recognition and image
analysis. The link connects with interesting demonstrations of the application of morphological operations to
imaging tasks. The demonstrations can be viewed from a browser and do not require Matlab.

This is a web-based introductory course in digital image processing. It contains material on
morphological operations in an easy-to-understand format.
