Analysis of Landscape Image Using Morphological Filter

Abstract

A landscape image can be classified by the two categories with a natural landscape and an artificial landscape by using the image characteristic of direction. In this paper, a method is proposed to extracting characteristic of the image by using morphological filter. The experiments have been done to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method for many landscape images to separate to natural landscapes and artificial landscapes. From the experiments, morphological “Opening” operation can extract the image characteristics of direction, and can be used landscape images to divide into natural areas and artifical areas by appling the difference in direction characteristic for picture elements.
