MorphologicalMultiScaleDecomposition¶
Perform a geodesic morphology based image analysis on an input image channel
Description¶
This application recursively apply geodesic decomposition.
This algorithm is derived from the following publication:
Martino Pesaresi and Jon Alti Benediktsson, Member, IEEE: A new approach for the morphological segmentation of high resolution satellite imagery. IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol. 39, NO. 2, February 2001, p. 309-320.
It provides a geodesic decomposition of the input image, with the following scheme. Let 
denote the input image, 
denote the convex membership function, 
denote the concave membership function and 
denote the leveling function, for a given radius 
as defined in the documentation
of the GeodesicMorphologyDecompositionImageFilter. Let ![[N_{1},\ldots, N_{n}]](../_images/math/b06e4f00b7ed0e727eb4117a030fa066dd0f7afa.png)
denote a range of increasing radius (or scales). The iterative decomposition is defined as follows:
= 
= 
= 
The 
and 
are membership function for the convex
(resp. concave) objects whose size is comprised between 
and 
Output convex, concave and leveling images with B bands, where n is the number of levels.
This application has several output images and supports “multi-writing”. Instead of computing and writing each image independently, the streamed image blocks are written in a synchronous way for each output. The output images will be computed strip by strip, using the available RAM to compute the strip size, and a user defined streaming mode can be specified using the streaming extended filenames (type, mode and value). Note that multi-writing can be disabled using the multi-write extended filename option: &multiwrite=false, in this case the output images will be written one by one. Note that multi-writing is not supported for MPI writers.

Choice of the structuring element type

Examples¶
From the command-line:
otbcli_MorphologicalMultiScaleDecomposition -in ROI_IKO_PAN_LesHalles.tif -structype ball -channel 1 -radius 2 -levels 2 -step 3 -outconvex convex.tif -outconcave concave.tif -outleveling leveling.tif
From Python:
import otbApplication
app = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("MorphologicalMultiScaleDecomposition")
app.SetParameterString("in", "ROI_IKO_PAN_LesHalles.tif")
app.SetParameterString("structype","ball")
app.SetParameterInt("channel", 1)
app.SetParameterInt("radius", 2)
app.SetParameterInt("levels", 2)
app.SetParameterInt("step", 3)
app.SetParameterString("outconvex", "convex.tif")
app.SetParameterString("outconcave", "concave.tif")
app.SetParameterString("outleveling", "leveling.tif")
app.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()
Limitations¶
Generation of the multi scale decomposition is not streamable, pay attention to this fact when setting the number of iterating levels.
