On Generalized Digital Topology and Root Images of Median Filters

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the concepts of semi-open sets and λ-open sets in the digital topology. In addition, we introduce the concepts of regular semi-open and regular λ-open sets. A relationship between digital topology and image processing is established.

Keywords

• Digital topology,median filter,root image,regular open
