Generalized triangular grids in digital geometry.
Fuzzy Mathematical Morphology aims to extend the binary morphological operators to grey-level images. In order to define the basic morphological operations fuzzy erosion, dilation, opening and closing, we introduce a general method based upon fuzzy implication and inclusion grade operators, including as particular case, other ones existing in related literature. In the definition of fuzzy erosion and dilation we use several fuzzy implications (Annexe A, Table of fuzzy implications), the paper includes...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing blocking effects in transform coding. A novel optimization approach using the gradient flow is proposed. Using some properties of the gradient flow on a manifold, an optimized filter design method for reducing the blocking effects is presented. Based on this method, an image reconstruction algorithm is derived. The algorithm maintains the fidelity of images while reducing the blocking effects. Experimental tests demonstrate that the presented algorithm...
