Abstract

Deep learning techniques achieved outstanding performance in various image processing and analysis tasks. Deep networks for vector-valued images represent an active research topic and include, for example, hypercomplex-valued neural networks. The nonlinearity played by some layers and activation functions in modern deep neural networks is closely related to mathematical morphology, a theory of image operators based on topological and geometrical. This research project aims to develop a mathematical framework encompassing mathematical morphology, hypercomplex algebras, and deep learning. As a result, we expect to devise powerful and robust machine-learning techniques for vector-valued image processing, taking into account topologic and geometric concepts.
