• Abstract: Mathematical morphology contributes many profitable tools to image processing area. Some of these methods considered to be basic but the most important fundamental of data processing in many various applications. In this paper, we modify the fundamental of morphological operations such as dilation and erosion making use of limit and co-limit preserving functors within (Category Theory). Adopting the well-known matrix representation of images, the category of matrix, called Mat, can be represented as an image. With enriching Mat over various semirings such as Boolean and (max,+) semirings, one can arrive at classical definition of binary and gray-scale images using the categorical tensor product in Mat. With dilation operation in hand, the erosion can be reached using the famous tensor-hom adjunction. This approach enables us to define new types of dilation and erosion between two images represented by matrices using different semirings other than Boolean and (max,+) semirings. The viewpoint of morphological operations from category theory can also shed light to the claimed concept that mathematical morphology is a model for linear logic.

  The skeleton of a digital image is a compact representation of its topology, geometry, and scale. Most existing skeletonization algorithms are not differentiable, making it impossible to integrate them with gradient-based optimization. This work introduces the first three-dimensional skeletonization algorithm that is both compatible with gradient-based optimization and preserves an object's topology.

  We propose a general framework for Hierarchical Image Representation Learning (HIRL) This framework aims to learn multiple semantic representations for each image, and these representations are structured to encode image semantics from fine-grained to coarse-grained. Based on a probabilistic factorization, HIRL learns the most fine-grained semantics by an off-the-shelf image SSL approach and learns multiple coarse-grained semantics by a novel semantic path discrimination scheme.
