General Adaptive Neighborhood Mathematical Morphology

2009 16th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), 2009
This paper aims to present a novel framework, entitled General Adaptive Neighborhood Image Processing (GANIP), focusing on the area of adaptive morphology. The usual fixed-shape structuring elements required in Mathematical Morphology (MM) are substituted by adaptive (GAN-based) spatial structuring elements.

Reweighted and Adaptive Morphology Separation

SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, 2014
Morphological component analysis (MCA) for signal separation decomposes a signal into a super-position of morphological subcomponents, each of which is approximately sparse in a certain dictionary. Some of the dictionaries can also be modified to make them adaptive to local structure in images. We show that signal separation performance can be improved

Adaptive filtering using gradient morphology

Proceedings., 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition. Vol. IV. Conference D: Architectures for Vision and Pattern Recognition,, 2003
A method is presented to remove noise from images as a preprocessing step for segmentation. It is based on the analysis of the slope of the gradient profile in a moving window after sorting its elements. By classifying the slope segments, rules can be applied for smoothing. These rules can be adapted for edge preservation. >

Anatomical and Morphological Adaptations

1998
Metcalfe (1983) lists the following anatomical and morphological characters as being xeromorphic: 1. Leaves may be small, sometimes with the margins inrolled, as in Erica cinerea and E. tetralix. 2. Characteristically, in many xerophytes the leaves become detached, and water loss is thereby reduced. 3.

Morphological Adaptations for Flight

1990
Because powered flight is very expensive (energy cost per unit time) even though the cost of transport over unit distance is fairly inexpensive as compared with running and swimming, it requires a high degree of morphological adaptation. For example, the wings have to be long to reduce the induced power, which is very high at low speeds.

Morphological adaptation to diet in platyrrhine primates

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1994
AbstractMorphological features of the jaws and teeth are examined in eight species of platyrrhine monkeys that coexist in the Suriname rainforest. Z‐scores calculated from geometric predictions for several features of the feeding apparatus thought to have some functional significance (e.

Morphological adaptations to marine life in snakes

Journal of Morphology, 2011
AbstractWe investigated morphological adaptations to aquatic life within animals that exhibit a structurally simple, elongate body form, i.e., snakes. This linear body plan should impose different biomechanical constraints than the classical streamlined body shape associated with propulsion by fins, feet, or wings.

Cranial Morphology and Masticatory Adaptations

1984
The morphogenesis of the bony cranium is related to its multiple functions. It is common practice to distinguish between that part of the skull which is related to the central nervous system (neurocranium) and that part which is related to the sense organs and the respiratory/digestive tracts (splanchnocranium).

Renal potassium transport: morphological and functional adaptations

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1989
Maintenance of K+ homeostasis in mammals and amphibians depends primarily on the kidneys which excrete 95% of K+ ingested in the diet. The amount of K+ in the urine is determined by the rate of K+ secretion or absorption by the distal tubule and the collecting duct. When K+ intake is increased, K+ secretion rises. The mechanisms of K+ secretion by the
