Closed-Form Representation of Convolution, Dilation, and Erosion in the Context of Image Algebra

Abstract

Using fundamental operators from image algebra, the authors present simple closed-form expressions for dilation, erosion, and convolution. Algebraically, these expressions appear as terms within the algebra. Moreover, the methodology for obtaining the expressions reveals a universal operational structure within image algebra, of which the three aforementioned operations are particular instances. The result is a natural parallel mechanism for computation and a representation of convolution that naturally overcomes the difficulties arising from the variability of image domains in the defining relation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
