Abstract
This article presents an improved morphological image representation that c an be used for image compression, obtaining very high compression rates. Th e new image representation described in this work is called skeleton struct ure and is a natural extension of the morphologic structure. This article w ill present its theoretical background, introduce the new representation, a nd show some application examples. Copyright (C) 2007 by W.B. Saunders Comp any.
