Abstract
A more powerful tool for binary image processing, i.e., logic-operated math ematical morphology (LOMM), is proposed. With LOMM the image and the struct uring element (SE) are treated as binary logical variables, and the MULTIPL Y between the image and the SE in correlation is replaced with 16 logical o perations. A total of 12 LOMM operations are obtained. The optical implemen tation of LOMM is described. The application of LOMM and its experimental r esults are also presented.
