Aims of course

This course covers recent developments in morphological filtering, for signal, image and volume processing. On the first day students can choose from a list of recent papers in mathematical morphology. On the last day the student the students must give a presentation on this paper. The students must also prepare an essay on this paper within a two weeks from giving the presentation.

The remainder of the course consists of four days of lectures and practicals. During the lectures we will cover such topics as connected filtering, connectivity and hyperconnectivity, which allow modelling of higher-level perceptual grouping, multi-scale analysis through granulomentries and scale spaces, adaptive filters and morphological PDEs, and visualization techniques based on mathematical morphology.

During the practicals the students gain hands-on experience with morphological processing and analysis tools. Students are strongly encouraged to bring along their own data for testing the methods under study. Final assessment of the course will be based on practicals, presentation, and essay.

Note: Deadline for lab reports and essays is November 16, 2012. Essays should be roughly 2500 words, and deal with the same topics as the presentation. Some reflection on the use of the methods discussed in your own research, or other research you are aware of is greatly appreciated.
