A morphological approach of target detection on perspective plane

This paper presents a morphological approach of target detection on the per spective-distorted plane for image analysis applications. By modifying morp hological operations with a dynamic-varying structuring element, distorted targets with variant contrast values. shape deformations, and different loc ation/orientation can be detected successfully on the perspective plane eve n though they are in cluttered background. Two experimental simulation resu lts are presented to show that our algorithm works successfully in detectin g the targets from their blurred perspective plane image. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
