Abstract

The concept of a pattern-shape comparison peculiar to the Pyt’ev morphological paradigm is introduced for monotonic morphologies of the Serra type. Morphological skeletons with variable radii (scales) of elements are considered to be analogs of Pyt’ev partitions of a frame into regions with variable brightness. This allows one to construct projections and calculate the morphological coefficients of the correlation.
