Mathematical Morphology in Machine Learning 文章

arXiv:2605.30700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work introduces mathematical morphology-an established visual computing theory-into machine learning to exploit shape and density aspects often overlooked by standard techniques. We propose a fast clustering algorithm based on morphological reconstruction that accurately preserves cluster shapes and density. This scheme offers unique features: an intrinsic sense of maximal clusters, cost-free noise removal, and diverse growth patterns controlled by structuring elements.Additionally, we propose a novel distance metric combining Minkowski and Chebyshev distances, highly efficient for morphological dilations. In $Z^2$ discrete neighbourhood iterations, it is roughly 1.3 times faster than Manhattan and 329.5 times faster than Euclidean distances.
