Abstract
In this paper, a class of transformations with reconstruction criteria is investigated. This class of transformations was initially proposed for obtaining intermediate results between the morphological opening and the opening by reconstruction. Here, the transformations are presented in the general case, as in the reconstruction transformations case, by imposing some conditions on the marker. The form of selecting the markers to build these transformations is particularly described for binary images. Since the transformations studied in this work use a reconstruction criterion, we illustrate how it can be modified in order to have a better control of the output image. Finally, the interest of these transformations in image segmentation is also shown.
