title: [Segmentation of osteomas X-ray image using mathematical morphology].
abstract: In this paper, we introduce a method for the segmentation of osteomas X-ray images. This method is mainly based on mathematical morphology. Structuring elements are selected according to the shape of osteomas. After gray scale morphology operations, osteomas boundary is extracted by histogram threshold. Further processing of resulting boundary with binary morphological operation produces a closed osteomas contour. So osteomas is isolated from background.
