ISMM 2011 - ISMM 2011 10th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology

Mathematical Morphology can be defined as a discipline for the analysis of spatial structures. It is called morphology because the analysis concentrates on the shape, form, and neighbourhood relations of these structures. It is mathematical
because it relies on set theory (with emphasis on lattice theory), geometry, and topology. Mathematical Morphology offers to practitioners a wide range of effective methods and efficient algorithms for analysing digital images and other forms of spatial data.

The International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology (ISMM) has established itself as the main scientific event in the field. This edition of ISMM will be the tenth in the series initiated in 1993 in Barcelona and will be held for the first time in Italy. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers, students, and practitioners of Mathematical Morphology to present and discuss new advances on topics ranging from new theoretical developments to novel applications solving complex image analysis problems. For this anniversary conference, special attention will be given to developments and applications related to the analysis and processing of geospatial data.
