METHOD FOR SEGMENTATION OF COMPLEX-STRUCTURE HALF-TONE IMAGES BASED ON COMPOSITE MORPHOLOGIC OPERATORS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06K9/50 G06K9/34 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to digital image processing means. In the method, said operator is formed from linear structure-forming elements with different orientation parameters relative the raster of an image of equal length; each filtered image is obtained through interaction of the linear structure-forming element of the composite morphologic operator with the original image; pixel brightness in the filtered image is obtained by performing, for each pixel of the original image, three morphologic operations of interaction of the original image with the linear structure-forming element.

EFFECT: high accuracy of highlighting boundaries of complex-structure images owing to formation of multiple direction-filtered images from an original half-tone image via local processing with a composite morphologic operator.
