    摘要: A binary morphological erosion operator image processor which operates on images of any size and dimension with a structuring element of any dimension and shape. The erosion operations are all processed in the 1D domain by first decomposing the image and structuring element into a series of 1D slices, and then further segmenting the structuring element into a plurality of shorter 1D segments. These segments are processed in parallel using an array of parallel processors. Once the erosion operations are completed, the resulting 1D slices are composed into a final eroded image.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing noise in a three dimensional rectilinear parallelepiped data point array includes both erosion and dilation processes for each array point value. The erosion process includes the steps of determining gradients along all three axis which pass through a data point and modifying the point value as a function of the gradients to generate an updated point value. The dilation process includes the steps of using point values from the updated array, determining gradients along all three axis which pass through the point, and modifying the updated point value as a function of the gradients to generate a final and revised point value.

    摘要: A system and method for dramatically reducing the number of vertices defining a polygon on a grid, without significantly changing its effective enclosed area is disclosed. A smoothing process is executed on any general purpose computer system to operate on one or more representations of one or more curves. Each of the curves has a set of a plurality of vertices. The smoothing process first selects a first vertex, a third vertex, and a second middle vertex, the first, second, and third vertices being sequential but not necessarily consecutive on the curve. Then the smoothing process determines the area of a triangle formed by the first, second, and third vertices. This triangular area is compared to a threshold area. If the area is less than the threshold, new vertices are selected along the curve and the process is repeated. However if the area of the triangle is greater than or equal to the threshold, the second (middle) vertex is marked as an important vertex before a new set of vertices is selected. The reduced set of only the important vertices needed may effectively substitute for the complete set when processing the vertices and/or when rendering the curve. This is repeated along the curve until a stop criteria is reached.
