数学形态学(Mathematical Morphology)诞生于1964年，是由法国巴黎矿业学院博士生赛拉(J. Serra)和导师马瑟荣，在从事铁矿核的定量岩石学分析及预测其开采价值的研究中提出“击中/击不中变换”， 并在理论层面上第一次引入了形态学的表达式，建立了颗粒分析方法。他们的工作奠定了这门学科的理论基础， 如击中/击不中变换、开闭运算、布尔模型及纹理分析器的原型等。数学形态学的基本思想是用具有一定形态的结构元素去量度和提取图像中的对应形状以达到对图像分析和识别的目的。-Mathematical morphology (Mathematical Morphology) was born in 1964, is a doctoral student School of Mines in Paris, France La Tour (J. Serra) and Mather wing instructors engaged in the iron core of the quantitative analysis of rock and forecast the value of its mining research in the " hit/hit transform"　and the first time at the theoretical level the introduction of the expression of morphological established methods of particle analysis. Their work laid the theoretical foundation subjects, such as hit/hit transform, opening and closing operations, Boolean model and the prototype, such as texture analyzer. The basic idea of mathematical morphology is the structure of a certain form elements to measure and extract the corresponding image in order to achieve the shape of the image analysis and identification purposes.
