Abstract

Hierarchical image representations have been addressed by various models by the past, the max-tree being probably its best representative within the scope of Mathematical Morphology. However, the max-tree model requires to impose an ordering relation between pixels, from the lowest values (root) to the highest (leaves). Recently, the alpha-tree model has been introduced to avoid such an ordering. Indeed, it relies on image quasi-flat zones, and as such focuses on local dissimilarities. It has led to successful attempts in remote sensing and video segmentation. In this paper, we deal with the problem of alpha-tree computation, and propose several efficient schemes which help to ensure real-time (or near-real time) morphological image processing
