Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 134))

Abstract

Toggle contrast operator could extract image features and has been used in different applications. In this paper, the toggle contrast operator is used for image decomposition and reconstruction. By using multi scale structuring elements, toggle contrast operator decomposes the original image as different images which contain image features of different scale. Also, the original image could be reconstructed from the decomposed images without any loss. Therefore, this image decomposition and reconstruction method could be used for different applications. An example of image enhancement application has been also demonstrated.
