Abstract

A new nonlinear morphological detection algorithm is proposed for input scenes with a number of objects present in a clutter. It uses a synthetic discriminant function (SDF) to form the matched spatial filter (MSF) of the structuring element (SE) used in the hit-miss transform (HMT) detection. The SDF synthetic technique is used to adapt intraclass distortions and interclass similarity, where an HMT is used to adapt noisy and cluttered scenes. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm is an attractive nonlinear optical image processing technique that can be applied to an HMT detection to improve both the false alarm rate and its ability to detect multiple-object with distortions and clutter.
