Издательство Springer, 2011, -497 pp.This LNCS volume on Mathematical Morphology and Its Applications to Image and Signal Processing contains the full papers accepted for presentation at the 10th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM 2011), held in Intra, Italy, 6th–8th of July, 2011. ISMM is a biannual event bringing together researchers, students, and practitioners of Mathematical Morphology to present and discuss advances on topics ranging from new theoretical developments to novel applications, solving complex image analysis problems. ISMM was established as the main scientific event in the field and this anniversary edition marked the tenth successful organisation in the series that was initiated in 1993 in Barcelona.
The call for papers was answered with 49 submissions. Each submitted paper was peer-reviewed by three referees selected from the Programme Committee. Based on their reviews, a total of 39 papers were accepted for publication in this volume, 27 of which were selected for oral, and 12 for poster presentation. The final programme of ISMM 2011 was divided into nine thematic areas: theory, lattices and order, connectivity, image analysis, processing and segmentation, adaptive morphology, algorithms, remote sensing, visualisation, and applications.
The topic of special attention for ISMM 2011 was the adaptation of morphological methods for the analysis of geo-spatial data. It shaped the separate section on remote sensing consisting of five contributions, further backed by four papers on the topics of connectivity and algorithms. The symposium programme was enriched by the following three keynote lectures:
– Applications of Discrete Calculus in Computational Science by Leo Grady (Siemens Corporate Research);
– Morphological Profiles in Classification of Remote Sensing Imagery by J´on Atli Benediktsson (University of Iceland);
– Mathematical Morphology in Computer Graphics, Scientific Visualization and Visual Exploration by Jos B.T.M. Roerdink (University of Groningen).
ISMM 2011 was organised by the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC), of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy. The success of the event is attributed to the joint effort of many individuals. In particular, we wish to thank all the authors who accepted our invitation, the members of the Programme Committee for delivering thorough reviews of the submitted manuscripts, the invited speakers for offering three high-quality lectures, and the Session Chairs for running the symposium smoothly. We wish to acknowledge the IPSC (JRC) for supporting this event, and the hotel Il Chiostro, Intra, for facilitating the symposium and taking care of the organisation of the social event. Special thanks go to Ana-Maria Duta (IPSC) for assisting in organisational issues. All submitted material was managed by the online EasyChair conference management system.Theory.
