OM Mathematical Morphology Library

Mathematical morphology (MM) is a branch of image processing, which arose in 1964. It is associated with the names of Georges Matheron and Jean Serra, who developed its main concepts and tools, expounded it in several books (Matheron, 1975; Serra, 1982; Serra, 1988), and created a team at the Centre de Morphologie Mathématique on the Fontainebleau site of the Paris School of Mines.

Isabelle Bloch is behind a group of researchers and musicians who work on applying mathematical morphology to music.
