Two Image-Template Operations for Binary Image Processing

This paper presents two new image algebra image-template operationsmatchand mismatch derived fromthe general image-template product. These image algebra operationsextend the binary morphological erosion and dilation operations andcan be used to express elegantly most of binary image processingalgorithms in a more natural way than binary morphological operationsfrom the image processing viewpoint. In addition, the match andmismatch operations are easy to implement efficiently on SIMDbit-serial parallel computers.
