Abstract

This second part of a two-part study concerning the logical structure of nonlinear filters treats gray-scale filters. The algebraic framework of threshold decomposition is dedscribed in terms of the appropriate underlying commuting diagram, along with the manner in which generalized stack filters fall out of the framework when it is interpreted in the context of logical calculus. Relationships between representations for morphological and generalized stack filters are expressed in cellular logic.
