viii LIST OF FIGURES<br />

2.9 An example of different topographic distance reference. (a) An original<br />

image. (b) An image of a topographic distance from the boundary. (c)<br />

An image of a topographic distance from a center flat zone. . . . . . . 33<br />

2.10 Plot of 1-D Function f(x). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35<br />

3.1 An example of a given image and its TD-tree. Each flat zone of the<br />

image corresponds to a node of the TD-tree (indicated by the letter<br />

V, followed by the node number), its gray-level (shown in the variable<br />

GL), and its boundary topographic distance (shown in the variable TD). 38<br />

3.2 Synthetic image with the corresponding image of topographic distances. 42<br />

3.3 Noisy image of Simba with the corresponding image of topographic<br />

distances. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42<br />

distances. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43<br />

graphic distances. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43<br />

4.1 Result of BTV-based erosion ˆεB. (a) Original Synthetic <strong>Image</strong>, and<br />

4.6 A tree representing the BTV transform of function f(x). . . . . . . . 48<br />

4.7 An example of filtering a dual-pixel noise : A black component - 3, is<br />

located on brighter background - 1 and 2. After erosion with erosion<br />

depth limit of 1, the upper pixel of the 3-rd component is untouched. 49<br />

4.8 Results of BTV-based erosion ˆεB, using adaptive SE. (a) Original Nat-<br />

ural <strong>Image</strong>, and (b) erosion of Natural <strong>Image</strong> for a 2 × 2 structuring<br />

element. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50
