Following the success of the first edition, recent developments in the field of morphological image analysis called for an extended second edition. The text has been fully revised with the goal of improving its clarity while introducing new concepts of interest to real image analysis applications. One chapter devoted to texture analysis has been added. Main extensions include: discussion about multichannel images and their morphological processing, ordering relations on image partitions, connected operators and levellings, homotopy for greytone images, translation-invariant implementations of erosions and dilations by line segments, reinforced emphasis on rank-based morphological operators, grey tone hit-or-miss, ordered independent homotopic thinnings and anchored skeletons, self-dual geodesic transformation and reconstruction, area based self-dual filters, anti-centre, watershed-based texture segmentation, texture models, and new scientific and industrial applications.

This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology, ISMM 2011 held in Verbania-Intra, Italy in July 2011. It is a collection of 39 revised full papers, from which 27 were selected for oral and 12 for poster presentation, from a total of 49 submissions.  Moreover, the book features two invited contributions in the fields of remote sensing, image analysis and scientific visualization. The papers are organized in thematic sections on theory, lattices and order, connectivity, image analysis, processing and segmentation, adaptive morphology, algorithms, remote sensing, visualization, and applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the first Workshop on Applications of Discrete Geometry and Mathematical Morphology, WADGMM 2010, held at the International Conference on Pattern Recognition in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2010. The 11 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. The book was specifically designed to promote interchange and collaboration between experts in discrete geometry/mathematical morphology and potential users of these methods from other fields of image analysis and pattern recognition.
