MAMBA documentation, publications, installers and archives
This page contains various documents related to the MAMBA
software library: algorithmic implementations, software descriptions,
etc. Although these documents and notes address general morphological
operators implementation problems, the solutions proposed here are
closely linked to the tools which are available in MAMBA.
Conversely, as they nevertheless provide solutions, ideas which could
be implemented in other software libraries, they cannot be considered as belonging specifically to the MAMBA
documentation (some of the algorithmic descriptions given here can also
be implemented with other libraries). This is why these documents have
been gathered in this page.
When
source code is provided, it is written with Mamba1.1.3. You will need
to modify it if you use Mamba 2.0 (the Mamba 2 User Manual or this document describe the changes between Mamba 1 and Mamba 2).
You will find also the archives of the older Mamba releases (Source
code, installers and documentation) which have been removed from
the
Mamba web page.
The MAMBA 2.0 software documentation (source code, reference manual, user manual, quick reference, etc.) is available here. You can also use this mirror page which contains the current Windows installers, dependencies and archives.
DOCUMENTS
Fast implementation of large erosions and dilations in Mamba
A complete description of a fast implementation of large
erosions and dilations with hexagons, squares,
dodecagons and octogons. This implementation provides the fastest
implementation ever of these basic transformations with a full
management of the edge effects. In Mamba 2.0, these algorithms have been applied to fast 3D linear dilations and erosions.
Measures in Mamba
A description of the main stereological measures available in Mamba.
Algorithmic description of erosions and dilations in Mamba
This document is a short description of the basic morphological operators with hexagons, squares, dodecagons and octogons.
Hierarchical Queues: general description and implementation in MAMBA Image library
This paper is a complete description of the use of hierarchical queues
in Mamba to implement efficiently watershed transforms and geodesic
reconstructions.
Towards a unification of waterfalls, standard and P algorithms
You will find here a general presentation and description of the
various hierarchical segmentation algorithms (waterfalls, P algorithm)
implemented in Mamba.
About a problem of definition of the geodesic erosion
This note explains the various variants of the geodesic transforms which are contained in the Mamba geodesy module.
Maxima and Minima: A Review
This document describes the new maxima/minima operators included in the Mamba extrema module. The notion of dynamics in particular is revisited.
Basic Morphological Operators Applied On Partitions
This paper shows how to perform basic but also geodesic operations on
partitions. A partition is another representation of a graph and this
document explains how perform efficient and fast transformations on
partitions where each cell is considered as a whole.
Cours "Segmentation Morphologique", MASTER OIV, Université Jean Monnet, Saint-Etienne - Corrigé de l'examen écrit
This document (in french) gives the solutions of the
Mathematical Morphology exam set in 2014 for the Master diploma at
University Jean Monnet (Saint-Etienne). The solutions have also been
implemented in Mamba. The corresponding Python file (for Mamba 1.1.3) is here.
Labelling Operators
This note describes some algorithmic implementations of labellings
applied on sets or partitions. These implementations take advantage of
specific charactreistics of some Mamba operators. The purpose of this
document is also to show that operations which are often implemented
with graphs can be efficiently and rapidly performed directly on
images. These operators have been added in Mamba 2.0.
Mathematical Morphology Exercises With Mamba (Release 2 - Solutions included)
This document contains a collection of MM
exercises which can be realized with Mamba (release 2). This handbook
includes the solutions of the exercises. Various topics are addressed:
basic notions, filterings, measures, residual operators, homotopic
transforms, geodesy, feature extraction, image segmentation. This
manual supersedes a former exercise handbook (which did not contained any solution).
You will find in the Mamba download page the Windows installers for the latest version of Mamba (2.0).
