Elements Of Digital Geometry, Mathematical Morphology, And Discrete Optimization

The author presents three distinct but related branches of science in this book: digital geometry, mathematical morphology, and discrete optimization. They are united by a common mindset as well as by the many applications where they are useful. In addition to being useful, each of these relatively new branches of science is also intellectually challenging.The book contains a systematic study of inverses of mappings between ordered sets, and so offers a uniquely helpful organization in the appro
