Science & Technogy Ministry of Brasil, 2007 -546 pp.Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, October 10-13, 2007.
Mathematical Morphology (MM) was created in the mid-sixties by a group led by Georges Matheron and Jean Serra of the Paris School of Mines in Fontainebleau, France. By the end of the seventies, its usefulness for image analysis had been recognized in Europe, in particular within the area of microscopic imaging. Starting in the eighties, with the publication in English of Serra's books on Image Analysis and Mathematical Morphology, MM spread worldwide. In 1993, the MM community organized the first International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM), an event that has been held approximately biennially ever since.Part I Lattice theory
