Description
Summary:A generalization of the basic operators in mathematical morphology is presented in this paper. The resulting generalization lead to the construction of the k-statistical operators, due to its ability to obtain geometricaly the statistical descriptors within the range of the operator (Z={0,1}). These operators can be less strict as to the expected result as in the basic operators of dilation and erosion. Furthermore, a single k-statistical operator represents a functional complete set that includes erosion and dilation as particular cases. In a k-statistical operator, the condition to obtain the resulting set depends on whether the area (number of elements) of intersection between the translated structural set and the original set is at least equal to k. As a consecuence, a single parameter (k) is able to create a manifold of operators ranging from erosion to dilation. Hence, other kinds of openings and closings with new behavior are created as alternative solutions to binary image processing problems.
