Mathematical Morphology and its Applications to Image and Signal Processing

This LNCS volume on Mathematical Morphology and its Applications to Image and Signal Processing contains the full papers accepted for presentation to the 10th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM 2011), held in Intra, Italy, 6th--8th of July, 2011. ISMM is a biannual event bringing together researchers, students, and practitioners of Mathematical Morphology to present and discuss advances on topics ranging from new theoretical developments to novel applications, solving complex image analysis problems. ISMM was established as the main scientific event in the field and this anniversary edition marked the tenth successful organisation in the series, that was initiated in 1993 in Barcelona. The call for papers was answered with 49 submissions. Each submitted paper was peer-reviewed by 3 referees selected from the Programme Committee. A total of 39 papers were accepted for publication in this volume. The final programme of ISMM 2011 was divided in nine thematic areas: theory, lattices and order, connectivity, image analysis, processing and segmentation, adaptive morphology, algorithms, remote sensing, visualisation, and applications. The topic of special attention for ISMM~2011 was the adaptation of morphological methods for the analysis of geo-spatial data. It shaped the separate section on remote sensing consisting of 5 contributions, further backed by 4 papers from the topics of connectivity and algorithms. ISMM 2011 was organised by the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC), of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy.JRC.G.2-Global security and crisis managemen
