"Automatic Acquisition of Directional Erosion and Dilation Sequence by Genetic Algorithms"

Abstract:

This paper presents a method to obtain an image processing sequence by showing an original image and a goal image. Even if some object shapes and sizes are changed, this method can obtain a suitable sequence by showing two binary images. There are some works concerns with automatic generation of image processing sequences in the lowest level. In this approach, it uses eight directional erosion and dilation operations. This method uses the genetic algorithms to search sequences. Utilizing a global searching function of the genetic algorithms, it searches a sequence of mathematical morphology.
