These models are based on techniques developed in mathematical morphology, which is a science dealing with the form and shapes of objects, and will form an algebraic basis for area-patch generalization. These models are fully illustrated and tested. The results show that such models are very promising.", pages = "148-153", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney/caj/1995/00000032/00000002/art00007", doi = "doi:10.1179/000870495787757411" }
