Mathematical Morphology in Geomorphology and GISci - Daya Sagar, Behara Seshadri

. .

Résumé :
This book presents a multitude of mathematical morphological approaches for processing and analyzing digital images in quantitative geomorphology and geographic information science (GISci). Covering many interdisciplinary applications, the book explains how to use mathematical morphology not only to perform quantitative morphologic and scaling analyses of terrestrial phenomena and processes, but also to deal with challenges encountered in quantitative spatial reasoning studies. Easy-to-understand equations, straightforward explanations, and clear illustrations allow readers without a background in mathematical morphology to understand the material and implement the ideas....
