Morphological optics.
Image analysis methods are first classified into four groups of theories related to optics, after which the associate hypotheses, the structures, the laboratory equipment and the mathematical framework for one of them, better known by the term of morphological optics, are studied in detail. Conclusions are drawn as to the role played by hypotheses in image analysis.
