Morphological signature transform and applications

A review of the shape description method based on the Morphological Signature Transform (MST) and its applications is presented in this paper. The MST shape description method utilizes morphological image processing by multiple structuring elements. The shape to be described is represented by means of a multiresolution pyramid. An optimization method based on the use of genetic algorithm for selection of a near-optimal structuring element for shape matching is described. A medical image registration method based on Iterative Principal Axes Registration method and MST-based shape description is presented.
