Abstract
In this paper a morphological contrast measure is introduced. The quantification of the contrast is based on the analysis of the edges, which are associated with substantial changes in luminance. Due to this, the contrast measure is used to detect the image that presents a high visual contrast when a set of output images is analyzed. The set of output images is obtained by application of morphological contrast mappings with size criteria. These contrast transformations are defined under the notion of partitions generated by the set of flat zones of the image; therefore, they are connected transformations. In addition, an application to the segmentation of white and grey matter in brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) is provided. The detection of white matter is carried out by means of a contrast mapping with specific control parameters; subsequently, white and grey matter are separated and their ratio is calculated and compared with manual segmentations. Also, an example of segmentation of white and grey matter in MRI corrupted by 5% noise is presented in order to observe the performance of the morphological transformations proposed in this work.
