Canvas in Morphological Algorithms

From LRDE

Abstract

Olena is a generic image processing library developed at LRDE. It provides many morphological algorithms. Mathematical morphology offers several powerful tools in image processing and analysis. Similarities appear when writing morphological algorithms. Thereby, we can classify those tools and then build canvases of algorithms. This report presents what is a canvas and why canvases matter. We will see different manners to implement canvases with their pro and con arguments. Finally, we will explain which canvas implementation we have chosen for Olena and why.
