Computer Determination of the Constituent Structure of Biological Images
Published
Author(s)
Russell A. Kirsch
Abstract
A class of algorithms is described which enables computer quantized images to be decomposed into constituent parts reflecting the structure of the images. This decomposition is viewed as the morphological precursor to a higher level syntactic analysis. Numerical results for a typical biological image are presented.
