Two Image-Template Operations for Binary Image Processing

Abstract

This paper presents two new image algebra image-template operationsmatch and mismatch derived from the general image-template product. These image algebra operations extend the binary morphological erosion and dilation operations and can be used to express elegantly most of binary image processing algorithms in a more natural way than binary morphological operations from the image processing viewpoint. In addition, the match and mismatch operations are easy to implement efficiently on SIMD bit-serial parallel computers.
