title: A fast thresholded linear convolution representation of morphological operations.
abstract: In this correspondence, we present a fast thresholded linear convolution representation of morphological operations. The thresholded linear convolution representation of dilation and erosion is first proposed. A comparison of the efficiency of the direct implementation of morphological operations and the thresholded linear convolution representation of morphological operations is subsequently conducted. Mathematical morphology has emerged as a powerful new tool for image processing.
