INPE's research group on mathematical morphology

Portuguese version


Mathematical Morphology is a theory for analysis of spatial structures which was initiated by George Matheron and Jean Serra at the Ecole des Mines de Paris. It is called "Morphology" since it aims at the analysing the shape and the forms of the objects. It is Mathematical in the sense that the analysis is based on set theory, topology, lattice, randon functions, etc. (Serra and Soille, 1994).
