Hands-on Morphological Image Processing (SPIE Tutorial Texts in Optical Engineering Vol. TT59)
ASIN: 3540656715 |
Book Description
The book is self-contained in the sense that it is accessible to engineers, scientists, and practitioners having no prior experience with morphology. In addition, most necessary background notions about digital image processing are covered. The emphasis being put on the techniques useful for solving practical problems rather than the theory underlying mathematical morphology, no special knowledge about set theory and topology is required. Nevertheless, the book goes well beyond an introduction to mathematical morphology. Indeed, starting from the fundamental transformations, more elaborate methods which have proved their practical usefulness are explained. This is achieved through a step by step process pursued until the most recent advances.
Customer Reviews:
wordy and rambling, not the book I need.......2004-09-30
Part of what makes this text so difficult to understand is the author's inability to use consistent terms while trying to explain material. If you try to implement the pseudo-code in Matlab, you will find a lot of problems. Very dissapointed with the book.
The more things change, the more they stay the same!.......2001-10-30
This book is written in an older formal style without being overly rigorous. Why is it that the best books, the ones that make you think, are so thin compared to the standard fare?
This book offers the most comprehensive treatment of morphology that I have been able to find. It concentrates on mophology and not on image processing. The other books I have looked at treat mophology in one or two chapters as compared to this book which is devoted to the subject.
Beware, this is not a cookbook. It is not for those looking for a quick fix or a bag of tricks. The math, although written in a formal style, does not require an advanced degree. Anyone with a solid foundation in set theory, geometry and algebra will find the book very readable--a little bit of analysis helps. It will take time to absorb all the material.
In addition to the theory, the book does an excellent job of relating the material to practical applications, as the title claims. However, it is up to the reader to see how various transformations might be combined into larger algorithms.
I am very pleased that I spent the money for this book. It is well worth it. I plan to spend a great deal of time with it.

Book Description
The Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas represent three fragments of the former Tethys Sea, and are thus of great interest to understanding the evolution of the entire region where Eurasia, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula meet. Fishing activity and maritime traffic through the Dardanelles and Bosporus, and via the Lenin Canal to the Caspian Sea, have greatly intensified. Moreover, all major European rivers are now linked by canals, meaning that ships can navigate from the mouth of the Volga to the Baltic, from the Danube to the Rhine, and from there to all other major European Rivers. Such an anastomosed system not only allows ships to pass between basins: biota follow in their wake, and thus the Black Sea and Caspian fauna and flora, long sequestered in their closed basins, are suddenly given an opportunity to "escape". On the other hand, alien invaders increasingly find their way to the three seas,as stowaways in ballast water tanks or attached to the hulls. Some of the newcomers expanded to enormous numbers in the receiving ecosystem, where they may cause great economic damage.
The book provides an up-to-date overview of the situation in the Ponto-Caspian with regard to the jelly invasions that have been perturbing the local pelagic ecosystems since the early 1980s, contrasting that with biological invasions elsewhere, to try and identify general underlying principles.

Book Description
The systematic description of the knowledge accumulated on the physical oceanography, marine chemistry and pollution, and marine biology of the Caspian Sea forms the basis of this book. It presents the principal characteristic features of the environmental conditions of the sea and their changes in the second half of the 20th century. At present, the principal problems of the Caspian Sea are related to the interannual sea level changes and their forecast and to the estimation of the intensity of the chemical pollution of the sea and its impact upon the biota. Special attention is paid to socio-economic, legal, and political issues in the Caspian Sea region. This publication is based on numerous observational data collected by the authors of the chapters during sea expeditions, on the archive data of several Russian oceanographic institutions, as well as on the broad scientific literature mainly published in Russian editions. This book is addressed to the specialists concerned with research in various fields of physical oceanography, marine chemistry, pollution studies, and biology; solving a wide scope of problems from the regional climate to the mesoscale processes; and using a variety of methods from remote sensing of the seas to numerical and laboratory modeling.

Book Description
The Caspian Sea region is profoundly important to global and regional environmental security. New geopolitical and economic conditions have created a mix of competition, reluctant collaboration, and legal, political, economic and ideological wrangling. There is intense debate on how the Caspian Sea and its resources should be divided between the littoral states and how the resources are to be developed. Development of the area's immense hydrocarbon potential poses a risk to the unique and fragile ecosystem. The issue is extremely complex, and vital economic, political and environmental interests are involved. The present book provides the most recent scientific assessments of the environmental threats in the region, articulates the standpoints of the various stakeholders from the littoral states, and presents the diverse approaches of interest groups from other nations currently involved in Caspian developments. Key to the work is the way it addresses the almost untouched questions of how to foster cooperation in resource sharing and environmental security issues and how to structure international cooperation to ensure its effectiveness.

Book Description
There exists a broad range of natural hazards, including seismicity, faulting, fracturing, mud volcano eruptions, mud island motion, overpressure and lateral stress. These natural hazards, along with others, affect the exploration and production of hydrocarbons, especially in offshore operations. For each potential hazard, an estimation of their frequencies of occurrence, in addition to a quantitative assessment of the possible consequences, must be made.
Impact of Natural Hazards on Oil and Gas Extraction: The South
Caspian Basin provides technical details regarding these natural hazards, using the South Caspian Basin as a model. Here, the variation of natural hazards is documented in a geological setting. Accordingly, the scales of possible damage for each situation can be compared, and an understanding provided of the influence each hazard type has on every other.

Book Description
This book considers the development of oil flows in the Mediterranean area. This involves a full consideration of major suppliers and potential producers, including Iraq and the Caspian. In the downstream phase of the industry the book considers the evolution of the refining industry, and the stresses caused by environmental concerns and poor profitability. Finally the role of the Mediterranean in the world system is assessed.
